Digital BW, The Print

Martin: <Harald, Thanks for the link. It sounds really great. Unfortunately I 
heard the grayscale capability will only be available for the large format 
printers and not the desktop printers due to a licensing deal Ergosoft has with 
Epson. The 2200 will be supported for color inks only and there will be no 
support for earlier desktop printers.>

This is NOT TRUE. I just talked to Robert Eversole, President of ErgoSoft/US, 
and he confirmed that StudioPrint currently supports (in quadtone and color) 
Epson 2200, 3000, 5000, and 5500 (for desktops). It's purely a market-demand 
situation, and licensing has nothing to do with it, he said. As other desktop 
printers show market potential, they may be supported, too.


<The cost and size of the big printers plus the cost of the RIP is going to 
keep it out of the hands of most users. Sigh.>

Maybe, but that's how it goes.
