Digital BW, The Print

Dear People,

Please excuse the ignorance of a person new to these printing techniques,
but what does "fs" stand for and what is "custom dot gain"?  Thanks for
enlightening me.

I was astounded when I oopened the package. I'm subjecting these two prints
to very close scrutiny! I guess that printing a file that was set up for
piezo, you'd need to do an inverted S curve to lower contrast. When I get my
own inks I'll do a side by side and try and nail it. As it stands FS is
easily good enough for proofing and leave Piezo for the fine prints. My
father is visiting at the moment, so I can't play too much! I'm amazed at
how close the colour is. Piezo seems to have more depth, but this is
subjective, and I can't try and match prints until I have FS myself.
