Digital BW, The Print

OH yes. The new Roland can come outfitted with six colors combined
with the Cone Quad pigments. It requires the use of the Da Vinci rip
by Ergosoft. A guy in California that uses these groups has one. He
had to lease it because it cost so much. But he loves the hell out of
it. Wouldn't it be nice. Personally I'd rather have 4 9800's if I had
the choice, which I don't.
