The kit comes with the inks, 4 >in all: red, green, yellow, black. I think thats the 4 colors.. Minor point: It's actually cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Not so minor point: And to get _good_ results you probably need a _printing_ program that understands about using different screen angles for the different inks, at least if you're using halftones - (I'm not sure what would happen with dithering) - or you can get nasty patterning. You could try using the PD "Post" postscript interpreter.. It ought to understand screen angles (but you still need something to make the seps, like ADPro). -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | | Jerry Cullingford #include +44 442 230000 | ,-|-- | jc@crosfield.co.uk (was jc@cel.co.uk) or jc@cel.uucp x3203 | \_|__ +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ \___/
