Digital BW, The Print

Hello Tyler,
 
At present the Epson thing is an issue for the US but it will most likely
rear its head in some guise or other here in the UK - and of course
elsewhere on the globe.  I could simply duck out as I use and like the
results I get with the Epson Ultrachrome inks with ABW.  BUT - I want to
retain the choice and options.  I have used Piezo and MIS inks in the past
and may well want to do something similar in future.
 
It seems that as it's presently a US issue there's probably not much I can
contribute on an internal US matter from overseas.  I'll just be ignored ...
"what's it to do with you" I hear.  But am I right?  Or, can you or anyone
else think of a way in which we can support from outside the US.

Subject: [Digital BW] Epson situation, MIS developements, etc..



with all due respect to everyone's posted opinions here and elsewhere,
it's been a bit frustrating to see on every list I've seen with
threads about this issue, everyone seem to want to discuss the
politics, the principals involved, the law, etc.. On a few lists I
think the ghost of Ayn Rand has been brought back.
All this is intriguing and conversational, however, completely off the
mark, at least in terms of what I see as most urgent.

This process is currently moving forward, because it's in Epson's
perceived best interests to make that happen, and they have the
resources to do apply.

For me, my art, my business, and B&W photographic standards in
general, it is not in my, or our, best interests that the process
completes in Epson's favor. Why is another long post.
I might add that it's apparently against the best interests of others
here we all consider the pillars of the B&W ink community.

Therefore, as long as there remains any chance to impact the outcome,
according to those here with some knowledge about the process, and
they tell us there are things we can do...

DO IT!!!

We can all discuss the principals and law involved around the campfire
some other day.

This concludes today's rant from the Decider
