Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, the plan is to use Piezographic inks to give B&W prints the best presentation I can give them. I see folks seem to favor digital nagatives these days, but that’s not currently on my radar screen. There’s more I can wreak from these negatives than I am getting, and I want to go there. From everything I can find, Jon has developed in this a workflw which delivers a zone-like system for digital printing... something that otherwise seems missing from the contemporary process.

The hardest part for me is finding a point of entry... at the moment.

Someone wrote that there’s a premium for keeping the printers that work with these 3rd party inks in business. Like scanners, once you find yourself in the hunt, you understand. But by necessity, this is a small group. So thanks for the guidance.
