Digital BW, The Print

Hello again Ara,

The text mode is the choice to make to use only the black ink 
cartridge. You may be able to choose the dotss per inch setting also 
to get a higher resolution print. Coordinate this with the 
information on Clayton Jones; website and you should be up and 
running in no time (?)

Your friend in photography,

Johnny Eades
