Digital BW, The Print

Jonny I bought the cd with the ICC profiles for the Piezotone system 
also and the recommended inks.  I simply could never get it to work 
properly, no matter what I did the prints looked awful.  I was ready 
to give up when I decided to try the new MIS UT2 inkset.  GREAT 
results immediatly and consistantly!  I am now using the Cone CD as 
a coaster.
