Digital BW, The Print

I thought I was getting a handle on this digital printing stuff, but 
after reading this board for a few days, I think I'm completely 
lost.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I am making the move from 
wet to digital, and I'm not afraid to study and learn new 
technology.  I like to get myself completely up to speed on a new 
purchase before I pull out my wallet.  That said, are there any 
tutorial or informational sites out there on digital printing 
products and techniques?  I've read through Cone's website, and 
looked at other inkjet sites, but I'm looking for a clearinghouse of 
information to compare different techniques and technologies.  Also, 
if there are books published on this subject, that would be helpful 
as well.

Thanks!

Hello Ned,

I'm still new to digital printing myself and was feeling just as you 
do now. I was lucky to have a background in black and white film 
photography coming into this digital stuff. Also one particular 
website headed me in the direction I preferred. Black and White. The 
trouble with black and white is that not many if any printer on the 
market is set up to do this simple (?) task. Her is the website :
http://www.cjcom.net/digiprnarts.htm maintained by Clayton Jones who 
posts here from time to time. Another approach to Black and White 
printing is MIS associates and Piezography.com. For color printing 
I'll have to leave you to your own devices I'm afraid.

Your friend in Photography

Ned,

The IJM and MIS pages with links to the master digital guys are the best 
resource - there are no books that can keep you up-to-date.  I have a 
modest digital page with suggestions for starting out on my site and some 
links.  I stoked on original piezos, MIS inks and my new Epson 3200 
scanner. Don't get no better - at least not for a month or two.
