Dedicated Black and White System Overview

2007-03-05 by rternbach

dazegoneby,

Don't remain in a daze! Goto a studio where they are actually using 
the system you are considering. Have them do a print or two for you. 
Ask them about their printers, inks, profiles, etc. Better still, 
take a class in piezography. Don't buy a pig in a poke.
