Scott, you've evaded the question by putting words in my mouth! I
never recommended that he "use QTR or something else". What I said was
that IP would not have been _my_ first choice from the perspective of
cost-effectiveness (read it again, if you still don't get it). Then I
said that IP "is certainly capable of excellent B&W". I suggested no
alternative for him to try--especially since the cost of acquiring the
(IP) software was not an issue. 

So again, I ask: what's the justification for recommending BO printing
to someone who is printing with ImagePrint?
