[Digital BW] Re: Piezography MPS Black Ink Dmax

2009-06-18 by Jon Cone

Yes it is.

For the 3800 by example and the 2880 we offer a functional matte/glossy system which includes Matte Black and MPS Black, Selenium inks and GO.  These are the only two printers for which Piezography offers full matte/glossy support.

Others are doing it on their own with StudioPrint or making their own way with QTR.

regards,
