Pardon my newbie enthusiasm, but that is NEAT!

This is copied from your EZ notes:
"Of course, the neat trick of putting a warm cart in the Y spot for 
slightly warm and M spot for medium warm tones is a neat trick that should 
be promoted. Unfortunately, it burns up some ink with the cleaning cycle."

Just wanted to make sure your description there (warm in M spot) is the 
same medium warm shown in the layers example?

Also, can you briefly explain the "it burns up some ink with the cleaning 
cycle" comment?  Why does the cleaning cycle care whether some inks are 
warm or not?

Thanks!!!
