Re: [Digital BW] Sound of Silence, was: New PiezoTone blacks, 4 Martin

Bernd, Absolutely no need to apologize. You did not offend me at all! I understand your position and agree. For those of us who have been around for the last year or two (or longer) this is not a new situation either. While I am very tired with much of what goes on with the manufacturers, I am still very hopeful that competition will motivate them to continue to push the boundaries of the inkjet technology and in the end provide us with better products. I suspect it will remain a bumpy road for some time to come. Best, Martin Wesley

That is actually what I would have done too if I had been in your situation, no doubt. What I wanted to criticize is the fact, that Jon hasn\ufffdt answered the concerns, which have been posted on this list and on the piezo list about the fading problem of his new black ink himself. These are serious concerns, and all we have heard from him - at least so far - has been the sound of silence. If I wasn\ufffdt able to express this clearly enough in my post, and you felt personally offended - even to a small amount -, I apologize. Please blame my clumsy English again and be sure that I\ufffdm proud to regard you as a personal friend of mine. Not that I regard it as prohibited to criticize a friend, but I would have done it offline if I had have a reason, that is for sure. But I have had no reason! Your work as list moderator is just perfect (to say the least).
