Digital BW, The Print

Edward, I had only an average experience with MIS, over a year ago now 
so it may be much better. Then piezography was a money pit partly 
because of the problems with 1290 printers but still a lot of messing 
about for very little wow. Then I got QTR for Windows and it continues 
to amaze me printing better b&w in a range of controlable and 
repeatable tones from a colour inkset (Epson 4000) which allows the 
printer to print colour as well. I printed an amazing 73 x 17 inch 
panorama in rich sepia last week. The Epson driver and profiles will 
not print sepia on matte paper without a lot of posterization. Other 
solutions, which I have not tried cost thousands. After two years of 
experimenting and spending a lot of time and money, I am not going to 
retire from the laboratory and print some photographs. 
My advice is, don't give up on QTR.
