Yes, I wonder what some people are thinking. When Cone sent me my first
example of piezo printing, I almost laughed, it was so bad. Olive green,
the blackest black was a charcoal gray, several steps away from black,
and flat and muddy, like it was printed on #1 paper when it needed a #3.
 I never got over that sample. Still have it somewhere.
