Digital BW, The Print

Paul, 
Are you suggesting that the errors in Jon Cones results might be 
deliberately biased towards his inks? 
I personally wouldn't trust anything that he publishes until it is 
verified by a independant source such as your own. 
Jon Cones pruducts have never quite come up to his promises along 
with his after sales support. 
I am happy with the MIS FSN for the time being, my  Epson 2200 is 
also producing some fine B/W prints.

Keep up the good work.


Barry
