Digital BW, The Print

Phil: This seems to be a case where it's just a lot simpler to follow
the crowd, use the existing inksets, use the existing workflows, use
the existing problem solutions, and rely on the existing
infrastructure then to start from scratch with a handful of similar
independent minded folks using something other than Epson printers. 

I just want good prints and to make them the easiest way. I don't want
to try to duplicate the several years efforts of a lot of people with
a different printer. HP may make better printers than Epson for all I
know. But it's easier to make good prints with an Epson because of the
infrastructure.

I think we all have our strong streaks of individuality. I just prefer
to exercize mine in the content of my images rather than how I print
them. 

Watch a bunch of photojournalists shooting sometime. Notice they are
all shooting Nikon or Canon gear. Is that because they are the best?
No, not at all. It's just because of the support and the fact that if
they need to borrow a lens or body, that's what everyone else has. A
related situation exists with printers.
