Digital BW, The Print

I have got to believe that it's possible - I would also be bashing the hell
out of Epson for a firmware upgrade for a newly purchased 4000.

As for MIS clones, they really need to find a better supplier of cartridges
also.  John Edmunds sent me a link to a supplier of carts for the 4000 but
for some reason I didn't bookmark it and can't find it again.  It was a
retail supplier for a manufacturer which he knows well.  The prices were
over the top - the retailer had them for $75 an empty cartridge! but
apparently the quality is fantastic.  If the price were a little more
reasonable then the extra cost might be worth it in the long run vs the MIS
cartridges.
