Re: [Digital BW] unsubstantiated rumour

The one thing I could imagine Epson being able to do, based upon their
success with their color pigments, would be to make a BW pigment inkset that
would print well on matte and semi-gloss papers, thus yielding a nice Dmax
advantage over current pigment inks. However, they'd have to be able to get
around the metamerism issue, which would really be apparent in a monochrome
inkset.

But I'm with you Jer, just say "no!" to chips.
