Digital BW, The Print

The UC inks had awful bronzing on "photo" papers.  The dMax is likely up a
bit but anything over 2.2ish is practically indistinguishable.

Personally if I had a 4000 I would be out buying some 4800 ink cartridges
and swapping the chips.  The Firmware may prevent access to the LLK but QTR
will drive the better K, LK, LM, and LC (and (Y).  Very much worth a try.
Profiling for colour would be easy too.  (Someone a lot smarter than me
ought to be able to figure out a crack for the firmware also.)
