Hey Paul, Bob...

Just to add one - yes, the R/B carts are for color printing (and they 
are great), but the other improvement is the "gloss optimizer" (the 
"eighth color") which helps in B&W and color equally, if you're into 
the whole glossy thing. I know some folks here spray/seal their own 
prints, and that's always a good thing, but to get great glossies 
without the whole floating on the surface effect, the GO cart works 
great.
