Digital BW, The Print

Andreas,

seems to me this is more of a underhanded way to sell the prints by 
Peter Gasser than anything else.

I agree with you that this is not a business model I will use either.

If they are really serious about marketing and supporting this RIP  - 
as opposed to selling his prints - they will make it possible to 
download the program, include some profiles and make the website 
accessible in English - as a start...

Shall we make a bet that this RIP will fail to make a dent in the 
market?

Christer
