Digital BW, The Print

You said it.

Jon said you could use that new neutral set in 6 channel printers( for as long 
as they last) also by eliminating one of the dark greys. This could produce a 
true hextone print of outstanding delicacy, and even better with 7. I want to try 
that too as well as the three black uc solution. Of course Epson would love to 
see all these older printers go away forever so they can control it all. I can tell 
you right now they will make it really hard to get service on them if your out of 
warranty. Get ready to learn how to work on printers yourself. Now they won't 
even sell anymore of the older 7 channel machines. They would probably 
rather pile them up and burn em rather than risk us using them for our non-
epson purposes. But complaining aside, we are in for one great year of black 
and white output, regardless of how you look at it. Kodak is smart to eliminate 
their chemical division. That is all over.
