Tom, This is kind of what I was thinking, but to turn it into a B+W quadtone set. I am 
sure it would take a bit of messing about with the curves. I am only trying to 
jumpstart some ideas for people with dying but once expensive printers. 

I guess it would all depend on which inks went out. If Black goes out I think it would 
not work.
