Thanks Donna! I've been using it for some doggy greeting cards!

here's a tip! (if you haven't discovered it) Big grin
if your image comes out with too much ink (too dark) adjust the gamma control or the white balance control to bring back the white paper, I've found most of the photos I've taken always seem to come out too dark at first.

I am going to submit an update that seems to give the details just a bit more clarity.

here's an example from a photo I took last week of some carousel horses LoveFF

I like this filter too! My suggestion for future versions, if Sherry|Northernshadow thinks it's a good idea, is to include more antialiasing (for the presets too) to make the crosshatching effect look more realistic. Currently, it's a great sort of monochrome dither, which reminds me of classic Macintosh graphics, but it looks very rough and harsh.
I'm enjoying using Filter Forge to create http://torley.com/textures

I'm happy it's liked Big grin
Thanks for the input Torley Smile I might have to do it as a new filter though... not sure if it would work so well with this one.
