Re: Epson K3 inks and Advanced B&W mode

Clayton, forgive me for butting in here but I think that when you 
say, "Ink Config at -5%, you really mean (and please correct me if 
I'm wrong) hit the "Paper Config" button, then change the Color 
Density to -5%. On your website you also refer to this button as 
the "Ink Config" button, but I think you mean the "Paper Config" 
button.

Again, I hope I'm not missing something - your website has been 
invaluable to me in coming to grips with my R2400.

Best,

Ted
