Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Clayton,

OK, how about this scenario: I keep the color dye carts in their
original position (not as good as pigment, I know, but ok for the
occasional family non-archival snapshot), with the original black cart
in its slot. Then, when I want to do BO, I put the Eboni in its place.
Simple! Also, Paul suggests it may be necessary to wipe off the pads
during this exchange.

But how do I store the black cart I'm not using? 

I'd really not go with two printers just yet... not enough room, for
one thing.

Regards,

Paul
