Two things would generally help a company like Epson respond:

1. A realization of the size of the actual and potential market for their 
printers primarily as black and white devices.  (The fact that I bought an 
R800 and use it primarily for color, but may do some black and white 
printing on it, does not matter so much.)

2. A realization of the potential influence in the market place of some of 
the skilled photographers and printers on this list -- whether in the black 
and white or color realm.
