Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

The inks are already available if you buy in bottles and fill the carts 
yourself (just get some empty 7600 carts, a 60cc syringe, 7600 bottom 
fill adapter, and a large format chip resetter for use after 
refilling).  I just received the inks today form MIS. Part numbers are 
UT-PKN-4-K for 4 oz bottle of PKN and UT7-4-LK for 4 oz bottle of 
neutral version of Light Black.  I can send you either a QTR or IJC 
version of an LK only profile if you wish.  Just contact me off list 
and let me know which platform (PC or Mac) you use.  You will also have 
to make new color profiles for papers you use for color printing since 
the PKN and particularly LKN will affect color balance.  Depending on 
the subject matter you print in B&W you might not need the LKN.  The 
PKN in the 4000 makes excellent neutral BO prints for busy landscapes 
and other subjects that don't have smooth tonal gradients in the 
highlight areas.

  Carl
