Tyler,

That's okay since I did make some remarks. Probably should have bit my
tongue awhile longer.

Basically I am still working with it and the final word is still out as far
as I am concerned. I see potential in the product but I don't think that
people should rush out to buy it, but, because it does have possibilities
and this market is so small, I hate to see the product get blasted outright
at this point in time. I think there is a lot of info on the large format
versions from users on this group but very little on the 1280 version. We
need more feedback.

Also need to know how it compares to Sundance's BWPRO LITE which has the
same price.

Gee. Even I would tune it for that episode!<G>

I agree on all points. I really would be happy to spend money to get
multiple ink support inside the Piezo/R9 driver. If you had the original
Sundance, the new Neutral Cool Sundance, MIS-FS, MIS-FS Neutral, Warm
Neutral-PiezoTone, Selenium-PT and Cool Neutral-PT, all with ink specific
profiles for the major papers that would be a hot product. Or sell it as is
and charge for ink specific add on modules.

Hiram and John I hope you are getting all this.
