Digital BW, The Print

If you properly calibrate the printer then there is no problem simply
replacing the MK cartridge with Eboni.  However, on a cost basis you should
probably consider a CFS as the Epson cartridges are expensive and don't last
long.  I use one from MIS with Eboni in the K position.
