Bill,
I've just gotten started with the Cone Piezography BW
and, though *different* from wet prints, produces
results that are very satisfying to me. I know that
I've read Tina Manley's posts that seem to indicate
she uses the same system (though she's on a project
right now). They have a 4 ink system for the 1270 and
a 6 ink system for the 1280, I think. Here's the link:

Good luck,
