So what if MIS put together an inkset for the 2200 (2400, etc.)

That is a very smart idea. They should also pay Roy something for using his 
technology to sell their products and hire him to make the profiles. Or mabie 
he is satisfied with the publicity and the independece he has now.

I've noticed how Cone's new 7 tone inkset will be designed around using QTR 
for all of those thousands of us who don't have Studio Print. QTR is becoming 
a defacto standard for mono rips and the control of these new inksets simply 
because of its ease of operation, functionality, and of course, price. It's 
interesting how the market works. Something that starts out underground if it 
is good enought eventually surfaces for the masses.
