I'm expecting my bulk ink to arrive by Monday.

I plan on filling carts, installing them in the printer, running a 
few nozzel checks and the letting it sit for while I run to Costco to 
buy some KG.

I report my opinion after I make a print or two.

I'm ver excited towards the prospects of this paper.
