Digital BW, The Print

Jim,

You're probably right.  If the VM inks are new, then the black probably is
Eboni, which is all the same.

Thanks, Paul. I thought that the black in the VM carts *is* Eboni. MIS
had a notice on their web site many months ago (can't find it now)
that they were using Eboni in place of the previous black because it
was so much better.

I'll also second the request for instructions on pad-rinsing.

Thanks for your help.

Jim
