Digital BW, The Print

Thank you all for your suggestions. I ordered a new "cyan" cartridge  
from MIS, as well as a replacement chip. I hope that this will work. 
I have to say, the prints and tonality are phenomenal with this 
setup, in spite of my lack of experience, really a very easy system 
to start with. It just makes it very hard to go back to a wet 
darkroom.
