I realize that this was partly said in jest...but...the key here is that
Epson does not own Colorbyte...and hopefully won't.  One of the beauties of
Imageprint...and a real mission of Imageprint...at least as expressed by
Colorbyte's president, is to provide a hardware and ink independent product.
At present, I can use the driver with my 1270, 1280 and 7000 with any of a
variety of different ink sets.  Imageprint supports a huge number of
printers including Roland and Iris as well as Epson.  There is even talk of
them supporting 3rd party color ink sets on older epson printers.  If they
were bought by Epson...all of this would end...and they would be...the
people who build epson's driver...not a happy thing in my book.
