[Digital BW] Re: Piezography Neutral K7 and creating warm rag media

WHAT? You had me going there for a minute. Gum Arabic in the Epson
inks slots? - sounds like quick way to permanently destroy the heads
and clog the lines. But if it didn't it sure would be cool. I could
use real gold dust and sell 13x19's for 5 grand each. I'd try on my
old Photo Stylus 1200.
