Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

I never did try the VM with the 1280, so I can't honestly answer. I 
know Paul classified the 2000P curves that we did as "draft", but the 
output was equal to Piezo from my 980 (VM tone difference aside). 
Under a loupe, the 2000P/VM combo was a little smoother, but at a 
normal viewing distance you really couldn't tell them apart. Based 
upon your observations of the 1280 output with VM, the 2000P may do a 
better job - but is it worth the extra $300.00 to you?

I am currently playing with the FS inks and the Piezo driver on the 
1280 - no "greenies" and slightly more neutral. There is a slight 
diffrence in the 60 to 70% range as well as the total black - the FS 
is currently slightly lower by about 4 to 5% but I am still early in 
the process, so they may get closer.
