I mostly use MK and have changed over to PK and back three times.  I
didn't attempt any close measurements, but I certainly would have
noticed if it used that much.  I don't know if it only cleans the
black channel or not, but my sense of it is that at most it would be
like a normal cleaning cycle.   I don't think it's outrageous, but
like cleaning cycles it uses some so I try to plan ahead for my PK
sessions and do it as infrequently as possible.  

Regards,
Clayton
