Digital BW, The Print

Hi Jordan,

Well that is very interesting,
in fact, I was thinking of getting two C86
on for color only, and one for B&W...

I would think, the extra grey inks, would give more advantages,
over the standard color inks...for B&W. both being printed on
EEM paper.

The cool think, that sold me was, the fact, I could spruce up the 
color image.. and then print out with MIS inks, and get perfect grey scale
image, without messing around with the image, doing conversion to B&W.
