Digital BW, The Print

Drew,

I'd have MIS UT-FSN inks mailed from the US.  (See
http://www.inksupply.com/utfs1160.cfm)  Eboni matte black for the K position
is best.  (The 3000 is probably not up to glossy paper printing.)  I
recommend filling from bulk ink bottles -- much cheaper and easy.  UK
purchasers appear to receive MIS inks without serious problems.  You'll want
the various accessories for filling the carts also.
