Digital BW, The Print

Hi

Sorry - wrong subject last time

I am not very clued up on B&W printing. Largely because attempts in  
the past have been so unsuccessful I have lacked the motivation but,  
reading this list has fired my enthusiasm and I am going to upgrade  
my ESC3000 using the ink set from MIS with Eboni and Paul's very  
helpful support information. However, and the reason for this post, I  
am just at the front end of a set of colour cartridges (OEM) and am  
loth to just ditch them, especially as importing the new inks and  
empty cartridges will take some time. Call me parsimonious if you  
like but I would sooner see out the ink I have before changing and I  
wonder if there is a way of producing even moderately okay black and  
white prints from the standard set up. When I try to, I get a green  
print that looks horrible and I wonder if I lack certain key  
information. I am prepared for someone to tell me I am on a hiding to  
nothing but I hope you do not mind such a basic question being asked  
as clearly I am on the bottom rung of a very tall ladder :0]

Cheers

Drew
