A complete kit, _including_ the printer (Epson > 1280) is under $800. > If you're interested in quadtone black&white printing, you might want to spend some time perusing the DigitalBlachAndWhiteThePrint mailing list on yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/ The Sundance/PiezographyBW inks have some known problems (clogging, color shifts) and there are several other interesting choices (I'm partial to the MIS FSN set). http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/quadtone.html The R9/Piezography software isn't strictly necessary either, though I find it makes life easier and use it for all of my quadtone printing. The mailing list file archive has a lot of good information about the other "workflows" that allow one to print with various quadtone inksets. In any case, I'd recommend buying ink in cartridges at first (as opposed to in bulk w/ a CIS) and seeing if *you* like the look on your particular paper. I'd recommend trying a couple of ink sets before you commit to one, they're all pretty distinct. g. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
