Thanks, Hogarth.  This is good advice.  If I decide to
go back to Cone inks I will definitely give this a
try.  But after experiencing the reliability and easy
maintainence of running Ultrachrome inks, I just know
there has got to be a way for someone to deliver a
monochrome solution with that same dependability.  At
the moment, I don't have the heart to go back to the
constant nozzle checks, cleaning cycles, strip tests
and expensive Hahnemuhle paper going to the trash due
to banding, not to mention the five hail marys you
have to say every time you click the print button.
