Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

As i am mostly doing proofing (in color and BW) with this printer with Epson Archival Matte papers i can live with the MK cart only, so it is a life saver to know that i can use the other cartridges as you described.


Thanks for answering this doubt.

So, if you're using a paper other than the one the profile was made for, the profile may be inappropriate.

I use a small piece of tape across the top of the chip to hold it in place.  Never insert a cart with no chip or you're liable to wreck the printer.  So, be sure the interchanged chips are securely held onto the carts.
