Digital BW, The Print

Yeah, I know, and now I'm in Spain 20gbp postage, doh! I should have read
the instructions in the shop. As far as FS goes - I'd finish your piezo inks
in the new 1160 and then if you want a change, plug in FS. One thing that
you get with Piezo that you don't get with MIS (I think?) is a darn good
tech support, which in the early days is worth paying for. Especially as Nij
is around the corner from you. Even though I'm switching, I still think that
the piezo system is the best course for a beginner. All the samples I've
seen make FS as close as dammit to piezo. I've got two halfsets of piezo I'm
keeping, but I'm getting rid of the full set I've got. 156USD and I'll pay
shipping??? should get me 4 pints of FS... One thing i have noticed, I have
an image which Nij likes - 402- which I didn't bring over because I couldn't
get rid of a green cast, I've already got a more neuteral, but banded cos I
couldn't wait to get the inks settled, print. There is a slight contrast
increase as we noticed in London (although I'd been drinking for most of the
day, so I'm suprised I could see anything). One of the great things about
this list is that people are upfront with alternatives - Mike Kravitzs post
on new RIPs is a case in point.
