Digital BW, The Print

Frank,

I haven't been printing very often with the carbon sepia (or k7)  
recently.  Perhaps once or twice a week.  No clogs yet (fingers  
crossed).  I do turn off the printer when not in use and keep it  
covered with a heavy dust cover.  I think turning off the printer  
keeps the heads parked properly and the cover may help with cutting  
down on evaporation.  I've been very pleased with prints made using  
both the CS and k7 inks.
