Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

Actually you can modify the chipped cart to do this (or any cart), 
but I would not recommend this method. One of the purposes of the 
carts is to filter the inks just in case, and you totally lose that 
ability with this method. You may get lucky, but I would prefer not 
to take that chance.
