Digital BW, The Print

Speaking of "deserve": 

"The customer" doesn't always deserve what he "wants." If he wants
something someone doesn't want to provide, he should go elsewhere
without whining.

Epson Premium Glossy is a low quality product: bad B&W. Why would any
self respecting printer want to have his work displayed on it? If he
rejects a customer over the customer's demand for bad work,
congratulations to him for his guts.

Printers deserve to do what THEY want, gambling their reputations on
it. They're not government employees after all. 

If that loses business, it's their tough luck: capitalism. 

As often the "artist attitude" will pay off for a highly skilled
custom printer: it justifies asking a high price IF the work supports
the attitude...it's always been that way in all crafts. 

People who primarily shop for bargains and obedience, without
seriously considering the printer's opinion, get what they "deserve."
