Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the advice, Duane!

I don't know what to do about replacing the Quadtone in the 3000 yet. To get my feet BO wet, I just used the black from the quad in the 1270 because I'm CHEAP!!!

I suppose I'll have to mix the quad black myself because MIS is too damn lazy and has abandoned it's hallmark inks.
