Digital BW, The Print

well here's another point- we already have everything we need. Highly motivated and talented people developing the tools we need specifically need, from software to inks. People personally tied to the fine arts and the concerns of B&W in particular.
We also have hardware that is consistently improving for us in spite of itself, from resolution to available ink slots...

The only thing we don't have is cooperation from the hardware suppliers to accommodate the solutions many of us already use, with enthusiasm.
Even if we absorb additional costs, and probably more restrictive warranties. That's all we need- targeted unchipped printers with niche software support, existing products. They don't really have to do much.

We've all already addressed the problems, I'm not that interested in their ideas of how I should print fine art B&W, we're so far ahead of them already.
