Re: [Digital BW] ABW vs. Cone vs. Imagprint

I did make this choice, and went with Cone's inks and the StudioPrint RIP.

The question you are posing, however, seems to be full of gaps. Do you 
need to print color and grayscale from the same printer? Do you need to 
print on non-matte paper? Do you need to match exactly a particular 
shade - a warm-ish neutral? A colder selenium tone?

Consider also the MIS inks, such as the UT7 inkset, especially if you 
want to print on non-matte surfaces.
