thanks for the answer, but at this moment I don't want to spend more 
money with this printer, and waiting for a long time to get septone 
inks from another county (I'm from Italy).
I saw the HP has some cheap printers, like the 7260, that could use 
the no.59 ink that resolve b/w problems...I'm very attracted!
anyway could you link me where you buy the septone inks?

thanks again!
