Digital BW, The Print

Re: Jon Cone's new B/W system FYI
From: "flyfishingusa2002

Let's clear a few things up. First of all, Cone's new system is based on
Piezotone inks which have a great reputation for NOT clogging. Second, the
reasons for Canon are speed and the fact that a second head with color inks
can be swapped out anytime. This means that you do not need a dedicated b&w
printer. Think about it! Third, the removable head means that you can simply
rinse it under running water to clean out any paper dust or ink residue.
Fourth, printing through ICC profiles means no expensive RIP. And yes, there
will be versions of the profiles and inks for Epson printers too, though
they won't have the same advantage re: swapping heads. As to the Canon
switch, I have an Epson 7500, 3000, 1160, 1270 and a 1200 but I might take
another look at the Canons for the reasons mentioned.

While I've been critical of Jon's past claims (read my posts) I have met
with Jon about this system and everything he says about it makes sense.
Let's give the guy a break and wait see. Sounds like this addresses all the
old problems to me...
