Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I have been playing with the FS in a 1280 and have found that a tweak 
or two to your warm curve for the VM inks with the Epson driver works 
as well as the Piezo driver with Piezo inks on EAM. I made 2 or 3 
quick adjustments on the curve and got very close, just need to spend 
a little more time to get it perfect.

I also see that yahoo is messing up the senders ID again, please do 
not respond to the e-mail address that is most likely going to show 
up as I almost never check that one. Oh well been getting all kinds 
of errors from many of the groups lately.

Terry
