Thanks Bill ... Have thought about the metamerizing issue (that's when the ink takes on a kind of metallic look, right?) and, at least for the onset of this exploration, it appears as a minor concern. Mostly I want to learn the process as inexpensively as possible and make smallish prints to be used in greeting cards, CD jackets, and to send to a few select friends and acquaintances, as well as to see things like grain structure, cropping choices, and other such things.
