Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for everyones help.

I am now looking at ordering a CIS sytem to go along with the 1160.  
I looked at the prices of the Piezography*BW inks and I think I will 
stick with MIS inks for now (they are actually in my price range).

Once again thanks for your help,

kalahari
