Digital BW, The Print

Clay,
I've been using another computer with 9 as a print server.   I am now
thinking of retiring that computer (yes, a G3) And getting a mini mac to use
as a print server as the G3 is a real plodder.  If anyone can advise me on
another method please let me know.  My  G4 computer with o.s. X on it has
been printing perfectly with the GIMP print driver and it has only recently
become an issue because I wish to print with my Piezo set-up.  I have 3
1160's which work perfectly and I am a   little resistant to chucking
equipment that works.  (well I guess that is debateable).   The issue is
settings for Piezo.  I've figured out most of them  except there is no
option for turning off color sync .  Under color conversion you have 2
options standard or color sync.  Also under Dither Algorithm, there are 6
different settings.  (I hate to admit on this forum that I only have a very
faint idea of what DA even is)  I think my career options as a network
specialist could be limited.

Doesn't Jon Cone list papers that will warm up those inks.  I am thinking of
getting the 1800 or one of the others newer printers and those inks.  Are
you happy with them?    It's funny yesterday I found myself thinking about
the darkroom as keeping track/up with all this tech stuff makes my head
spin.
