Digital BW, The Print

Basically the cartridge are the same except the C84/86 big black ink 
cart. but the standard cart. that use on the CMY can be put in the K 
position. 

The only big different is the chip on the C84/86 will not be 
recognize by the Asian/Australian C63/83/65 and via versa but you can 
always replace it with the chips on the original C63/83/65.

By the way, an Australian friend of mine been using the C65 with EZ 
B&W inkset. 

Hope this helps.
