Digital BW, The Print

My intention with the initial post was to get the information out
there, this is huge for some of us, and I hoped that would result in
others interested in keeping this form of printing alive might do the
letter writing or whatever they can. I have no idea where or not it
will help, it certainly can't hurt. Thanks to Paul and other we now
have more information on how best to be affective.
I have long ranted there should be a secondary line of printers for us
that are unchipped and priced so their viability does not depend on
ink sales. Of course that won't happen at the desktop level.

But more directly, here's how it "may" impact bulk ink availability.
It's safe to assume that a huge part of income for these small
companies is sales of carts. One can imagine that those sales are a
larger amount than their total margin. 
A sudden end to cart sales may mean a sudden start to debt
accumulation for them.
Therefore, without a way to quickly adapt, downsize, or find another
high volume product to quickly take it's place, the companies
themselves may bag it entirely, and therefore no more ink...

All the peripheral discussion about politics etc, while no doubt
sincere, should not deflect us from sitting down and writing the
letters. That's the deal.
Then... come what may... we did something rather than nothing.
