Re: [Digital BW] Re: Which B&W system/too broad I know

I am a long time BW wet printer and lurking here as I am interested in the possibilities of piezo. I am finding this thread very interesting - although the abbreviations are a touch difficult to follow for a would be piezo newbie.

  Paul,

  Was afraid I'd be slammed, but instead
  you wrote a very useful and thought
  provoking response.

  I've read it three times already, and I am
  encouraged. Thank you!

  For my 7000, I see MIS Ultra Tones and EEM as 
  a good answer. Do you like ESFA as well?

  For my 1160, which has the original Piezo 
  ink, it makes sense that I should simply try 
  the PiezoTone Selenium... Are you suggesting 
  a modified software approach over the 
  standard Piezo driver?? Wasn't sure as I read 
  your note, now for the 4th time...?

  Maybe I'll let the 3000 sit idle a little 
  longer, then use it as a Sepia machine.

  Thank you for giving me the nudge in a 
  direction I can feel good about.

  Regards,
