Digital BW, The Print

Which concerns me greatly. Do you have any reliable suggestions for using 
the MIS or Generations G Chrome  pigments in the 10K CF machine? 

I am still accumulating knowledge about this. It isn't easy. There simply are not 
enough people out there who have done it. I spoke with the guy at Media 
Street yesterday and he said the supplier of the clone pressurized carts 
assures him that the leaking situation with their black carts has been resolved, 
but he is not 100% sure if that is the case since so few people do this. 

I am using my 10 K right now for some canvas prints that are 44"x 60" and I 
can do the whole job of five prints by the time my 9600 does one. This is just a 
great printer in so many respects and before it gets too old I want ultrachrome 
gamut and metamerism qualities in it. It is a real workhorse and I hope to keep 
it for a long time.
