Hey Aaron,

Are you gonna use the Peizography software and inks or are you gonna work
with the MIS Hextone inks? My exploration into digital B&W has not been very
satisfactory. I worked with the MIS inks and both systems really seem more
ideally suited to produce platinum type prints. Prints on the fine art type
paper come out good. But when glossy type papers are used, there are lots of
weird reflections and color shifts (yes, with a dedicated B&W inkset). But
in terms of making prints that look like fibre base, it doesn't seem like
it's there. Of course, there may be papers that I haven't tried yet. So, I
hope you'll keep us updated...

Thanks,

Mark
