Digital BW, The Print

Well, it's on the market in the sense that SPv11 has the ability, and
Cone has the ink components to work with. I probably shouldn't speak
for the person who has been working so hard on it. I know he changed
the dilutions a bit to make 6 gray inks, and fooled with the density
settings in SP for each ink.
Both Peter Supry and Jon are aware of his efforts and supportive, but
it's not available all as a purchasable package ready to go. Not sure
if it will be either, I gave up on pursuing it realizing I would need
an additional 6 ink printer commited to one hue. So I lost touch with
whatever progress was being made. One day maybe.
