Digital BW, The Print

When I first used my C86 with MIS inks, I printed a portrait on some 
Premium Luster I had. I was impressed.

I went to purchase 4800 Sat, but it was missing the paper tray (go 
figure) so I have to wait until the dealer gets more units in stock. 
Hopefullly it will be this week.

I'll be using PK, only because I'll need to print "color" also.
