Digital BW, The Print

Andrew was only one member of the group. Jeff Schewe was also on the
panel and he doesn't make profiles.
Following your logic, was there anyone on the panel who makes cd label
printers?

Epson brought together a "Blue Ribbon Panel" to discuss marketing.  One
of
the members, Andrew Rodney, told Epson (and the world) that the Gray
Balancer was "software from Hell".  Funny thing is, Rodney is cofounder
of
Digital Dog, who make profiles for money.  (Can you say, conflict of
interest?)  Subsequently, Epson decided to leave out the Gray Balancer.

I'm sure that there are other factors involved, but that can't have
helped.
