Sounds good.  I will try it.

I hope that MIS puts out an ink set soon, with refillable carts, and with the bowhaus RIP, I 
should be set for some serious printing.  I wil probably get the RIP this coming month and 
see how that works out.

That is exactly what I saw, in comparing the C86 (Eboni ink) BO print and a print w/C86 E-
N-N-N EZ inks.  I especially noticed it in those areas where there was a lot of grey.  
However, the BO print was too coarse.

Thanks I will give it a try.  One more point, I have found that, if I set my color setting (PS 
CS) working spaces "grey," to Gamma 2.2 and my ABW prints, either warm or neutral to a 
fine adjustment of "dark," I get a pretty good match to my screen.   I do not know if this is 
unversal, but it does work for me.

Thanks for the input.
