Digital BW, The Print

Hello folks,

I just had to jump in here with a related story. I have been toiling 
with Piezotone BW ICC inkset for about a week now and finally ran out 
of ink experimenting to get the thing right. Well, then I brought out 
my MIS FSN inkset for the Epson driver only and used the PiezoBW ICC 
PAPER  profiles just like I was using the Piexotone inks and I am 
getting much better results than with the genuine Piezotone inks. 
Black only printing might be put on the back burner for a while now. 
No additonal printing curves are needed, just work up the image on 
the screen (proofing with the Piezo paper ICC profiles) and when the 
image looks right---print with the print space set the same as the 
paper profile used for proofing. This probably isn't supposed to 
work, but it does!!!

Your friend in photography,

Johnny Eades
