Digital BW, The Print

Bruce,
 I wasn't in any way negating or questioning what you said.  When I said I
was afraid that was what you meant, I was simply saying that I felt that
what you said about having to have two printers was probably the case, but
unfortunate, because it seems that with the abilities available to the
manufacturers that they could easily resolve this, especially if they (their
marketing product managers, felt that there was a demand for a printer with
such capabilities. That was why I suggested that we could somehow drive that
awareness. Surely there are many who would want an affordable printer for
accurate and complete grayscale as well as color without the trade offs,
need to be constantly changing cartridges,  and system flushing.

There's no reason to believe me. You can find out for yourself. Do the 
work - find someone to print your images in several different ways. Some 
with grayscale inks, some with color inks. Look at them in various 
lighting. Make your own decision.

This of course limits you to what is on the market today.
