Digital BW, The Print

Todd,

Thanks for the alert. This groups was NOT formed around the use of or for
the discussion of MIS VM inks! This is a forum to address ALL technologies
for getting digital B&W files onto paper (or anything)!!

While we appreciate MIS's support of the list, the phrasing of their
statement on their Quad Workflow page is unfortunate and give the entirely
the wrong impression. We welcome the discussion on MIS products but the
purpose is much, much broader.

I have composed an e-mail to Bob Zeiss at MIS asking him to modify their
description of the group and will send it as soon as I have had a chance to
confer with Antonis.

Martin

Martin,

I am sure that it may have been an unintentional MISwording on Bob's part. I am sure he will graciously modify his statement.
