Why bother with a firmware hack that might destroy your printer? 
I've got MIS K3 inks in my R1800, run by QTR. I'm getting good 
results, though this POS printer microbands enough to be almost 
useless. But a 4000 is a different story, it should do much better. 
In fact Carl, I'm a bit surprised you haven't done it yet, you seem 
to have run just about every other ink scheme anyone's ever come up 
with, and quite succesfully. Are we getting a bit burned out with 
endless experimenting? I know I am. Makes me really appreciate 
Paul's ongoing efforts all these years.
