Digital BW, The Print

I'm glad this conversation has returned to a more friendly discourse.  I am,
however, a little surprised by the requests for forward looking statements
as to Infu6/Futures products given the scathing attacks made in the opposite
direction on this forum and, particularly, the wide format forum by certain
members of both.  (These comments are not directed at Ernst.)  Personally,
if I were advising John I'd tell him not to talk here about any of his
products in development until they are released commercially.  I'd encourage
him to try to negotiate where possible the ability to disclose the fact that
clients of his are using his technology in specific products marketed and
commercially available to us but this is unlikely to be easy in the very
competitive and fast-moving (and murky) world of inkjet media.  If I were
John I'd say nothing more at the moment than that which we already know.
Infu6 develops inks and ink receptor infusions for inkjet media.  It is in
the business of licensing this technology to third parties and may or may
not develop product lines to be marketed under its own label in the future.
They owe us no forward looking statements, particularly given recent
behaviour.
