Digital BW, The Print

Ernst,

I just wonder how long this fledgling development will remain monochromatic.
The marketing establishment I am sure will demand color because they think
it has to be color to sell.

Interestingly the ³appearance² as described of the e-paper display I believe
is not that different than the DTP black on white CRT displays that were
available some years ago. But until the true potential of the B&W niche is
recognized by the mega-corporate entities in the business, I doubt we will
see any products that are truly ideal the B&W photography criteria.
