Digital BW, The Print

Clayton, I haven't tried it. Frankly I think we part ways with our
preferences here. I hear everything you are saying about the presence
of color in our prints, and generally have the same reaction. However,
dead neutral may not appeal to me either. Most of my favorite prints
by any number of people made numerous traditional ways have a hint of
hue, or hue variation, that contributes to their luminosity, or depth.
Also, since I print for others, I can't jump ship too quickly on
inksets I use.
However, I would have happily tried them if I had a spare 2200 lying
around. I have seen mono ink prints partitioned out to 6 dilutions and
they were amazingly smooth, really no digital artifact that I can
detect. So I'm sure 7 will be great. I have it from a trusted friend
and expert printer, who beta tested them, that they are very impressive.
But they are neutral, on the paper it was designed for anyway, so I
might not like them as much, and you may love them <G>.
