We're all PIONEERS! Who the heck knows what's going on? Not me! I use MIS Quadtone inks and color archvial as well which come out of bottles with tubes like the "Matrix" movie. Sometimes I know what I'm doing. Other times I don't. God forbid someone comes over and says "lets see you make an inkjet print, Mark!" I'm sure nothing would work. I know the darkroom always works for me. I've been down there more an neglecting my pixels some. Actually about once ever 3 or 4 years the darkroom doesnt work either. Sometimes my knee doesn't work. Old football injury. But i think with the Cone thing you'd have less down time. Less clueless time when you just cant make the magic work for you. But I'm not there yet. I'd never advise anyone who had the money to not do it. I think it's entirely possible to just figure it out oneself. Talk to people on Newsgroups. Ask Johnny Deadman and others for advice. They'll probably tell you to do go cone. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
