Digital BW, The Print

I found out the hard way that you could do this with
an epson printer (I have an 875)

This is what you will need - Printer with the black
cartridge you are going to use, and an empty color MIS
cartridge with the always reads full chip (part of the
CIS system) installed.  If the printer thinks there is
ink in the cartridge, it will run.  However, you will
want to do this with a printer with a blown color head
- because after you start doing this you will kill the
color head.

The tine in my cyan position broke - so no ink would
feed into the head.  But it produced beautiful Black
Only prints.

Anyone who wants it can have it for shipping - I've
replaced it.
