Digital BW, The Print

I suspect this is a "community" that makes B&W prints more than it is
an "ink" community. 

This "community" will decide to agitate, or not. 

Is it passionate about Epson-targeted alternatives which do not seem
sufficiently reliable/non-destructive for all users?

Are Epson substitutes so wonderful that we can't rebuild our
darkrooms? Or is cheapness the driver? 

Consider: Have you seen many patriots for non-OEM color inks ?
