Digital BW, The Print

Thanks to Paul for all this good news. I wish I was in a position to 
take advantage of all of it. But I think I'd better start with just 
the VM-Sepia-Neutral. And if I understand Paul's first paragraph 
below, which is doubtful, I now can.

If so, for use in a CIS for the 1160, should I order on 
<inksupply.com>, quoted here:

>MIS VARIABLE MIX QUADTONE INKSETS - For use with Paul Roark Workflows
>	VM-QUAD-SET	(4) FOUR OZ BOTTLES - Dark, Med, VM1, Black	$56.00

and substitute the toner they send along with it (in a bottle?) for 
the "Med" bottle?


Will I later need, to re-fill the toner bottle:

>INKS FOR CUSTOM TINTING - For those who want to make their own inkset
>	ESC-BASE-PT	PINT BOTTLE OF BASE STOCK - Clear	$24.00

or is this "base stock" not the same as the "toner" they sell on request?


I would call MIS up tomorrow and ask them these questions except that 
when I called Friday to ask about the new Full Spectrum (color, not 
Quadtone) inkset, I got the impression that the person staffing the 
phone might not understand what we're up to. I know I don't!

Thanks.

Sam
