Digital BW, The Print

Bob,

Do you have a set of Cone K-7 inks with a RIP? If so, all of the work has alreadu been done for you by Cone and the RIP manufacturer. 

There is another "Piezography" forum here for Cone inks. Then you can avoid most of this other nonesense if you are willing to dedicate a 7600 to B&W.

If you still want a color machine, you can buy a great condition used 7600 for $500 or less.

Just want to be clear before we steer you off to never-never land. This "roll your own" stuff is for some of us who are a) obsessive, b) bored, or c) cheap.  ;>)

This from a previous post of yours:
