Digital BW, The Print

From David Dorn

<Here is where Epson's arrogance comes in.  I print mainly B&W.
<Epson's matte is simply too warm.  Now don't tell me they don't know
<it.  Ebony is the only 3rd non Epson ink I use in my 2200.  All they
<have to do is make an alternative ink and I would be 100% Epson.

I'm not sure Epson is the one that is arrogant here. "Epson's matte is 
simply too warm.... All they have to do is make and alternative ink and I 
would be 100% Epson." Let me get this straight, you are saying Epson should 
use your opinion, (one that I happen not to agree with) and if they changed 
their product based on that opinion everything would be fine.

Frankly I'm not exactly sure which side of this lawsuit I will end up on. 
All I can tell you is that I like my 2400, I am very happy with the prints, 
which are all B&W. I would like to have less expensive carts, but compared 
to the sale price of a print, ink is a negligible cost. Consumers always 
have the right to vote with their checkbook. I know that some see this as 
Epson's attempt to eliminate that right. I'm not sure if there is a viable 
market for third party inks and cartridges, Epson will ever be able to 
eliminate the competition.
