Digital BW, The Print

Hi Charles,

You've probably seen this page, but in case you haven't, here are 
Paul Roark's recommended settings for the C86:

My setup (also a C86 with the EZ inks) is working fine. When I ran 
the colour band "purge" pages from the MIS website after installing 
the EZ cartridges, the ink tones corresponding to the C, M and Y 
positions looked slightly different to me.
