Digital BW, The Print

Duh, how dumb can I get?

I checked all the printer settings and found one crucial one that I 
failed to have changed. I was giving it paper profiles instead of 
indicating I wanted to use plain paper for all settings so it would 
use only black ink thinking I would be printing only text, which it 
assumes to be only black ink. Now that I have found that error, I am 
out of ink again and waiting for some bottles from MIS so I can 
refill these cartridges. This will be my first attempt at refilling 
this printer's cartridges, so wish me luck. I'll probably need to 
buy some extra cartridges in case I mess these up refilling. Thanks 
again for all the help you have given me. Before running out of ink 
again, I was able to make a few Black Only prints. I still use the 
front end of Gray Gamma 2.2 and then switch it to 15% dot gain 
before printing and then switch it back to Gray Gamma 2.2 for saving 
the file. I like to have the screen image look like the printed 
image. If I left it at 15% dot gain, it would look much lighter than 
the print. Thanks again.
