Digital BW, The Print

I am having trouble locating the email stream where you printed a test
image for us and sent it.  We compared it to others and we are quite happy
with the outcome.  Epson is having a sale today, and I am considering
purchasing the 1430.  Would I just order that range of black inks from you
to go with it?  I may need some assistance getting it set up, also.  It's
really an issue now as Qoop is out of business.   Thanks so much! Pamela
Holt

I'll try again to locate the photo I sent before in case you need it.

I'm having trouble locating the print that Justin offered to send...

I emailed a sample file to Justin on April 24th, and I haven't yet seen a print.
I'm guessing MIS isn't too interested in my business.

The prints were mailed out on May 10th.  If you haven't received them I can try to get the 1430 setup again to run another set. Please email me if you need me to run them.
