Re: [Digital BW] Re: Will we be obsolete - it's the papers

Steve,

I think you've missed out one very important point here. It isn't just a 
matter of producing an ink and finding a matching paper; you have to 
research and design the appropriate software to put that ink on/in the paper 
to best advantage. MIS don't seem to do that; they seem to rely on others 
such as Paul and Roy to do the serious work for them. Epson works with ink 
'engineers', paper 'engineers', and software 'engineers', so that all three 
are matched.

It's worth pointing out that when one sits down to think about advancing the
inkjet paper/ink medium, the two are inextricably tied together.  The paper
is the recipient - the intended destination of the ink.  Guys like Epson
work with paper "engineers" all the time designing papers that they can
brand which are intended specifically for their ink.
