Cone for example?  Although constantly criticized for his prices... these
small companies doing all this r&d, how else do they make a profit? He sells
the whole package. Seems pretty cool to me.

In my opinion it's just the inks.

Cone is in the business of selling a method of printing...

MIS is now selling inks that can be used with the Piezo driver, pretty smart
I figure.

Or the sooner a competing ink company markets inks that will work with their
methods...

But why?  When they have many generous people creating workflows for them
and now with the release of inks compatible with cone's driver... why?

There are thousands of posts involving ideas, workflows, methodology
available etc... this stuff has been around for years now.  A little
research may help any frustrated individuals.
