Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Scott.  After following your suggestions and others I have
finally produced a good nozzle check.  Before I ran out of ink I was
able to print one B&W image that I restored for a client. I am very
pleased with the quality of the image, and I'm sure my client will be
too. I just wish that I hadn't spent $45 worth of ink to produce it.

I am new to printing my own images. Up till now I have been using a
local lab to do it for me, but the lab is so far away that I decided
to try printing for myself.  My plan from the start was to get the
printer and a set of ink so that I could do some testing, and then
move to refillable carts if I liked the results. In spite of my
troubles I have to admit that I do like the results even if I didn't
get to do all of the testing that I had intended.  

Any advice that you can provide regarding how to proced with
refillable carts would be welcome. I don't believe that my print
volume will be high enough to justify a continuous flow system. Are
the carts that I have refillable?
