Don,

It is apparently an entirely different base.  I've never seen it.

I'll find out.  I'm not really sure if this new base is designed for
diluting inks or just for flushing the lines.  I'll ask MIS.

I was lusting after a 4000 to replace the 3000, and it occurred to me that
an enormous base of 3000 owners is probably doing the same thing.  As such,
it should soon be flooding the used market -- perfect for B&W printers who
don't need the latest thing.  Of course, the 3000 has its weaknesses.
People will have to be sure they get a good one that doesn't band.  And, of
course, thick papers are really not useable.  However, EEM works great in
the 3000.  I'll be searching for appropriate archival paper also.
