Jim,

So All Square will not be selling or marketing these inks? I guess I 
misunderstood and thought that was your intent. I didn't realize you 
had no commercial involvement with the manufacturer.

Sounds familiar. Still guarding that group are they?

Posting here is fine if it is focused on B&W printing.

So is this stuff actually for sale right now? And if so where can you 
buy it?

Most importantly what software comes with it? If the ink company is 
not going to supply software for the quad inks I really am not 
interested. I'm a desktop user and my goal is to make prints not try 
and figure out curves and profiles. If the manufacturer is hoping the 
expert users will be so enthralled by the new product they will 
develop this part for free, I think that is pretty low.

Old adage in the computer business. Software sells hardware. Take a 
look at ConeTech.
