FWIW, a well respected member of the ink jet community recently 
posted to the Epson List that Conetech are reformulating Piezo inks 
to cure the clogging, message available in the archive. Who knows, 
now that Mac OSX is based on Unix some enterprising programmers might 
team up with users to produce an affordable open RIP which will work 
with any ink set. Exciting times.

I would also like to join Julian in thanking Mike and numerous others 
on this List for sharing their real world experience with ink jet 
printing.
