Digital BW, The Print

IF I were Jon Cone I would not sell "just the software" given all the variables out there...it is important to have a system (paper/software/ink) that works for most people...and Piezography System works very well for most people (me included)...if you let people change too many of the variables (unsupported papers for instance...or someone elses cheap ink)  then you would open up a can of worms...and potential for customers to complain and complain....and point fingers at the "software" (the most expensive part of the equation?) as causing the problem.  

I think his "turnkey" system with a broad range of supported and profiled papers (many available from Inkjetmall) is the smart way to go...if I were in his shoes running that business that is what I would do too.

  Yes - although there are other rips that work. The strength of the cone
  system, for me, lies in the profiles - FS gives identical prints at a
  fraction of the cost.  Whether I'll buy the complete kit though ... maybe
  Cone will sell just the software?
