Digital BW, The Print

Keith,

You cannot use the Piezo driver with the MIS-VM ink sets. The ink densities
of the two ink sets do not match and the print with the Piezo driver and
MIS-VM gives you weird blue print. Remember the toner ink is in the VM set.

Both the Piezo driver and the Epson driver give good results. I tend to
prefer the Epson driver for smooth toned subjects but in all honesty I could
not look at a print and tell you which driver was used. Sometimes with a
loupe I can see the underlying Piezo dither which is a window screen pattern
but not if everything is running well.

The Piezo plug-in works with all the supported printers which are Epson
only. The EPSON 860, 980, 1160, 1200, 1280, 1290, 3000, 7000, 7500, 9000 &
9500 are supported.

Piezo color driver I am not aware of and I don't have any info for you. You
might check out Antonis' Archival Color group.

Ooops! The Piezo PLUG-IN only supports:

The EPSON 860, 980, 1160, 1200, 1280, 1290, and 3000.

for the 7000, 7500, 9000 and 9500 ConeTech offers their RIP.

The R9 plug-in lists the supported printers as:

EPSON 860, 980, 1160, 1200, 1280, 1290 and 3000

The same as Piezo.

Martin
