That is news to me.  My understanding, which Mike clearly shares, is 
that you have to buy the inks with the RIP.  Maybe that has changed, 
but I was not aware of the change.

I use Piezo Pro24 on a 7000.  I like it a lot, but the software has 
some limitations.  I think Mike would acknowledge that Jon and his 
crew have done a great deal in advancing the quality of digital B&W 
printing, but others are catching up.  Don't forget that Piezo 2 - 
now apparently shelved for unexplained reasons - is (was?) a version 
of ImagePrint 4.
