Digital BW, The Print

Having read Martin's reply, I can see wisdom in this, esp for
non-chipped printers.

I just never had an Epson cart or a vacuum filled-by-me cart run out
in this manner for the 1280 chipped printer. I don't know if the ratio
of ink used by each chamber tilts toward the Y position when using the
new UT inks or not, the old MIS quads only gave me this problem the
one time I mentioned when I bought prefilled from MIS. A
coincidence...I don't know.
