Digital BW, The Print

Sam,

This is easy. Use Piezo. With all the different paper profiles it 
makes it much simpler to proof print on an inexpensive paper like EAM 
and then switch paper & paper profile to print on a more expensive 
paper. I would expect to still have to do some tweeking to get it 
just right.

I am surprized that the Piezo fans don't point this out as a cost 
advantage.

You can do the same thing with any of the other quad/hex ink sets but 
you will need to develope your own paper "profiles" or adjustment 
curves to allow you to move more smoothly from proofing paper to 
final paper.
