Digital BW, The Print

Ernst, given that Epson can build in different media settings that
each have unique ink limits, channel ramps, and GCR amounts, add to
that the control they seem to be able to exert over these issues with
different settings like Photo Realistic etc., if follows they could
easily build in a K, light K, with minimal corrective color ink, max K
generation setting in these drivers for good B&W with the 7 ink
printers, or some similar iteration for the small dot single K printers.
My more cynical nature observes these teams of Adobe, Epson,
ImagePrint, Imacon crewcuts traveling the country selling seminars on
how to do all this crap and buy it all, along with high profile
commercials shooters to give credibility (giving rise to the notion
that they have abandoned commercial photography in favor of corporate
seminars, therefore have nothing to offer us in the matter of actually
being a successful COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER!!!).
Anyway, sorry for the rant. But since I have observed other such
marriages affecting what products come to market and what don't
(witness PressReady) I suspect Epson has no inclination to provide a
solution that would hamper sales of more expensive solutions from
people with whom they have productive business relations.

Time for more coffee and a smiley face.
