Re: [Digital BW] Re: Fade test - German Etching & Piezo, MIS VM &X3 on EAM

Paul clearly told the list WHY he made curves and why he gives them
away. He is NOT associated with MIS.

Jerry

Why? Because of Cone's refusal to release a cool color inkset, AND the
five times the cost of Piezo inks when compared with most other inksets.
 Also because he found out that by writing curves he could get totally
dot free prints, just like Cone. 
 
Simple as that.
