Digital BW, The Print

You have lots of alternatives with the 2400 and don't even have to stick to
just one.

You can easily alternate between ABW and QTR.  Each one might have
advantages for different purposes.

I recommend carbon in the yellow spot and then not turning it off.  Printers
are usually better with all their jets firing as designed.  Both QTR and ABW
mode would then be able to print with all jets firing and the minimum amount
of color being used.  You'll get the best of both worlds.  It'll be easy to
compare the two approaches yourself.

I can't answer most of the other questions.  I am still experimenting with
the 3D inkset.  There are a few more capabilities that I'd like to add to
it, but I have not tested them yet.
