Digital BW, The Print

John,

I have reached the same  conclusions as you for pretty much
 the same reasons. I am a big fan of Piezotones despite the fact 
that they don't offer toners and the like.

However, I have been compiling dmax data recently, comparing
how the Black of different inksets performs on various papers.
With some papers, I found the dmax between Museum Black and
UC MK to be the same. For some, however, the MK has come
out surprisingly ahead. I wasn't surprised to see that with some
Epson papers, but there were others too. I am starting to think
whether it wouldn't be a useful option to use the Piezotones
with UC Matte Black.....

i haven't gotten to the bottom of this yet. I am slowly filling out
a spreadsheet which I hope to make public here on the list
in the near future for comments and suggestions. 

Antonis
