Unless, of course, he - like many other big name photographers - is getting
endorsement money or free ownership, leasing, or use of equipment from
Epson. In so far as Epson did not openly or widely acknowledge the problem,
it is also possible that he has not suffered from the problem and is (a)
unaware of the problem's existence or (b) taking as what Epson's promotions
and advertising literature says without questioning it.

Colin,
I haven't been following the 1270/orange shift issue and never thought to
bring it up to Jay. I assume he would have mentioned it had he felt it was
a problem. He was very free with his feelings about all the issues we spoke
of.
