Digital BW, The Print

Jeez, my print is travelling internationally now!

Whats next?

BTW folks, I just had to announce that my good friend Mark Klett is hosting a photo expedition into the Nevada desert this May. The trip will begin in Las Vegas on May 17 and end up back in vegas on the 26th. If anyone is interested there are a number of spots available. I will be there with my son and we shaoul all have a blast. We will be camping out in the desert almost nighly. If anyone doesn not know Mark, he teaches at Arizona State University and has published a number of books on desert imagery.

  Hi Diane,
  Piezography is an out-of-the-box printing solution that comes with its own
  driver, profiles for a zillion papers, tech support, and inks. MIS FS is a
  set of inks 'coming soon in 3 colours' to work with the piezo software so
  you can take avantage of the cone system without paying a fortune for inks.
  MIS VM gives you variable tone prints - again in many flavours using free
  curves from paul.
  I've seen prints on 6 ink printers from MIS VM and they are wonderful.
  Totally smooth, great blacks, continuous tone, the works.
  I've used Piezo and I now use Piezo with mis fs. They both work well. Piezo
  has tech support second to none. The software is great with new profiles
  being added all the time. The inks are warmer than FS. I - and others - had
  problems with clogs, green gunge in the CIS and density shifts. Many many
  folk have no problem at all. However once I'd tried FS I couldn't see the
  point in paying over the odds for ink. MIS inks may be cheaper, but they are
  not poorer quality.
  I had a friend over from the UK this week and we spent the best part of the
  week going over my prints, prints from exchanges, Mike Ks wonderful 22"
  print from his 7000, and never once, from all the systems used, did he
  dismiss the print quality. Now is a great time to get into inkjet printing.
  The only real difference now is finding a 'look' that you like and a
  workflow that you like. As a cheap tester why not get some MIS VM? You've
  only lost 60USD if you decide to get a piezo system later.

  > Newbie question here.  I have read both Jon Cone's page and the MIS
  page--I've looked at the comparisons of the MIS and the Piezography system.
  However, I get the impression that many here use the MIS inks, Paul Roark's
  curves, etc.  I would really appreciate some input as to how both work in
  'real life'.  Also, I know the Piezography system is quite pricey.  Does
  that influence any of you??
