RE: [Leica] New Holy War--Film Scanners

["Austin Franklin" <darkroom@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi Nelson,

You're welcome.  I use www.inkjetmall.com quadtone inks on an Epson 3000
with their driver.  I don't believe it's available from them any more
though, but is possibly available from www.bwguys.com.  If you have some
trouble finding it, let me know.  Inkjetmall is coming out with a new
"system" soon (so they say, and have been saying for a year now!) that might
be worth waiting for...

Regards,

Austin
