Digital BW, The Print

Sorry, My previous post was meant to go privately to Peter in Seattle.
Let me just clarify where I'm coming from. Just so lurkers don't get the 
wrong Idea.
Many get the impression that the MIS inks And Epson printers are plug and 
print equal to Piezo Quality. The 1280 is totally a different class printer 
than the 1160, 3000, or even the 7000. The 1280 With Epson driver produces 
stunning results with a variety of methods. Many of the 1160 users(most) on 
this list, have purchased or have previous experience with the piezo system. 
Comparisons usually refer to Tonal separation and blacks. Since the newest 
generation of printers (1280 class) has come out, the dot thing has taken a 
back seat. Setting at a table across from a gallery curator is tough enough 
trying to sell ink, and even tougher if there are visible dots.
My opinion is that the 7000, 3000, and many 1160s benefit greatly from what 
the piezo driver can do. Now ink and print tone? That's another story..
Don't get me wrong, I am All for what Paul is doing, I just need an 
additional printer(4th) to dedicate to variable ink.
