That is, the basic 1800 profiling system in the notes of the profiles for that system, works on the 1400 when 3 positions are filled with Eboni.  This, of course, would knock out the use of color in the printer also.

But he could still do color on matte paper, though, right? Wouldn't the remaining five carts be OEM color, as in the R1800/3MK setup? (I use cleaning fluid in my five, tinted slightly with black so I can read my nozzle checks.)

But didn't they live together comfortably with the R1800 3MK setup? I mean, there were five remaining carts, and these were presumably OEM color.

Not even the 1400?

That would simplify things, for sure.

Thank you, Paul!
