Digital BW, The Print

I know we disagree on this Steadman ;-0 But i agree about the piezo
software - it is very good and worth the initial buy, but after that? The
inks are not worth the money - now. At one time they were unique, but not
now.  Having piezo and FS on two printers the quality is identical.
Interestingly enough a couple of weeks ago someone came to buy prints and he
ended up buying two. I gave him the choice of different 'versions' of the
same image i.e. piezo was one and FS the other - he chose the FS prints both
times. I have only one image that looks 'worse' with FS. I guess Piezo2 is
going to kick the ball game further forward so I look forward to that - but
I don't like the Microsoft-like marketing strategy of Piezo - you have to
buy software and inks - like their bundling god-knows what into their Os
(email IE etc). There are alternatives!

not just inks.  The money you spend on Piezo also buys you the Piezo
software and about 30 paper profiles for the ink.  That alone is worth the
money in my opinion.
