Digital BW, The Print

Just to be sure I understand, David: the dyes were better despite the 
fact that you had a custom(CDT)-made profile for the pigments but 
_not_ for the dyes?

And since I'm already bothering you to make that explicit, may I 
trouble you also for the names MIS uses for these two particular 
inksets? There are so many I have to work at it to keep them straight.

And also for the paper(s) on which you were printing?

Thanks.

Sam
