Digital BW, The Print

yeah I agree that commercially the software on its own isn't viable. But
this is why I describe IJM as the Microsoft of the ink biz. A great box of
tricks that causes problems for some people, but not for all.
Philosophically though I prefer Linux.

(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.
