I think that may be the reality of the market.  When I made UT2 it became MIS's best selling product the first week out.  But there was no serious OEM B&W competition at the time.  With the K3 systems, it's a different world. Most people are going to buy a single printer that can do it all and stop there.  So, the "market" for the ink related things like I do is more like the "alternative process" niche in the wet darkroom B&W end of the field -- rather small, but a lot more fun from my perspective.
