Bob is correct that for BO using Eboni that only one cart has Eboni 
in it.  Unfortunately, the C86 doesn't do BO very well...I've never 
been able to get rid of the banding, and I've never heard of anyone 
successfully using the C86 for BO.

The most effective way to use a C86 as a dedicated B&W printer is by 
using one of MIS' EZ inksets.  Eboni in black, and EZ or EZW in the 
CMY positions.
