Digital BW, The Print

Brian,

Not quite true.

The Piezo RIp is priced at around $2200. Sure it comes with piezo inks, 
but  I consider these a "throw away" as you usually waste more ink than 
you get to keep trying to clear the heads and get a good nozzle check.

The Imageprint 4 RIP is $1400 plus another $100 for a second printer. 
Still cheaper than the Piezo RIP and you get custom profiles for any 
paper you want. Something Cone will not do.

Mike
