Walter, I asked you to clarify the manufacture and development of the Cone inks. Your response seems a bit unwarranted. As I said, I do not have a problem with the inks being manufactured in China. And it seems entirely appropriate that Jon Cone would consult closely with the manufacturer to arrive at precisely the formulation he desires. Buying the resulting inks in bulk and repackaging them for the end user is also an appropriate business activity. The Cone inks are highly regarded in fine art photography and we all have much to be grateful for as a result of Jon Cone's dedication to arriving at such excellent products. I hope that you will reconsider leaving this forum and continue to share news and information about this highly respected and important product line.
