Digital BW, The Print

Well, Chip, here's that review of ColorBytes Phatte Black System.

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/printers/phatte-black.shtml

After reading it, I think I'd rather just buy another 4800 and 
dedicate it to MK than to purchase IP 6.1. The cost is about the same.

Of course, if someone already owns IP 6.1, then that may be a 
different story.
