Re: [Digital BW] Re: Paul Roark's Comparison Print.

Do most of you who saw all three of paul's images on his website think
the piezo print is green?  This print almost exactly matches my piezo
prints on most papers, in daylight. If there is green in it, it must be
a very small amount, as I see mostly brown. If you are using the
uncoated Somerset velvet paper, the images are quite a bit more neutral
than on most any coated paper. I did see a print from Inkjet mall when I
first began using piezo. It was not a good print. Very flat, muddy,
olive green and very weak black. Not an acceptable print for a
photographer, but it had no dots, and that's why I bought into the piezo
system.  I thought I could find a paper that would be more neutral. I
could never get rid of the brown tones, and don't like them, so have
left piezo printing in favor of the MIS inks and Paul's curves. No green
or brown prints Here!
