Joel,

Because so few people would buy them, Epson would not sell enough of them or 
of their inks to make a profit. Quite simple!

Why can't this industry get black and white right???!!!  It seems so obvious 
to me as a
frustrated power user what needs to be done.  The good ideas that are out 
there simply
need to be properly implemented and combined with the right materials:


Epson clearly knows how to manufacture pigment inks that do not clog, but 
they have too
much of a big corporate one-size-fits-all mentality to bother with B&W.  Are 
you listening
Epson???!!!  All they would have to do is create various dilutions of their 
"light black" ink,
which is nearly the same as Cone's "Carbon Sepia."  For a cool tone set, a 
little dye or
another pigment would just have to be added.
