Digital BW, The Print

I think the relevant issue is whether they lurk in a forum which is specific
for B&W issues, like this one.  Personally I gave up on the general Epson
list because so many of the issues discussed were of a very basic nature.
In contrast, this list deals with people seeking something more than "what
they are delivered" albeit in a specialist category and hence I find the
discussion and general knowledge level here to be extremely good.  In the
end, we would all like to see Epson giving a little more focus to B&W
issues.  Alerting them to the content and general opinions of this list
can't hurt.  This list is a big supporter of Epson product, despite their
lack of focus on B&W.
