Despite the fact that OEM inks are clearly not what they should be yet with regard to longevity and that visually the aftermarket monotone ink sets have something unique to offer, I am getting an initial impression based on the paucity of offerings and the hopelessly out of date web sites involved, that these B&W specialized ink sets are not long for this world. That would be a shame.

Am I reading this correctly?
