>>How about making it work on an Epson?

HP has no possible justification for that. HP's wide format team in Barcelona has shown some interest in B&W specialty processes over the years. We have not seen that kind of response from Epson.  In fact, reduced sales to the photo market have left the printer manufacturers looking to increase sales in other areas instead of photo printing, so we may see less, not more, development in our area in the near future. If this type of process is to run on Epson printers, it would have to be third party developers who move it along; and since it uses OEM ink, the only third parties who might find it valuable would be RIP developers. Also, since it requires driver development, RIP developers are the only ones who would have the needed control.
