There sure seems to be a lot of hostility to the idea that consistent
products can or should one day have consistent prices; and to the idea
that operating modern RP machines is no longer a fine art or a black

regardless of what we say here. I hope we can at least agree that the
market is far from mature, and that its final shape remains to be
seen.
