Digital BW, The Print

Hi Douglas;

Thanks for the report; I like many are sitting on the fence on this 
one one. The ink-swapping business is a bit of a set-back; I guess I 
want it all, RIGHT NOW!

But do me a favor: put a 10x loupe to your prints (esp. the glossy) 
and tell me if you see any microbanding-any at all. Thanks

Steve Karafyllakis

P.S. as for the premium semi-matte; it isn't normally available in 
anything less than 24" rolls, and lately 17x22 sheets, so its no 
surprise that it isn't listed on a 13' printer. I have a brand new 
roll I bought just for this, I hope I can come up with a good way to 
flatten the stuff.
