Thanks, John. I think this is what Bob Headrick was getting at as 
well. I expect the HP heads to tolerate some pigments because HP 
offers pigmented black inks with most of its printers. The issue for 
me will be whether the color carts can handle these pigments, which 
is the focus of my upcoming experiment.

I'll discuss some of these issues with MIS before placing my order. 
I'll be sure to post whatever information I get from MIS.

I'm certainly getting a lot of useful info from this group! This is 
what I have found missing when it comes to internet resources for HP 
printers in general, while there is an overabundance of info for 
Epson.

Thanks again.
