Digital BW, The Print

I would have to say that it is totally inaccurate to say that all
inkjets clogg. I have three large printers set up with Piezography K7
and none of them have clogged at all, even when they are turned off
for weeks. They are far more trouble free than Ultrachrome. I also
have not had inconsistent batches or bad chips, or leaky carts. They
are also a very small company. K7 can be bought in bulk and user
filled. Of course the print color never changes and is always perfect. 

Fact is there is a trend toward less ink waste in these better
designed monochrome inks and even more so with the new HP and Canon
thermal printers that have stopped these unnecessary cleaning cycles
of Epson heads all together. I do hope this is where we are going in
the future, less wasteful printers and less wasteful ink formulations.
It doesn't do any one any good to buy cheaper ink when half of it ends
up in the waste tank. And I'm talking as much about Epson as anyone.
