Digital BW, The Print

Are you positive the right inks are in the right cartridges?  Can 
you print a 6 ink test pattern (download from inksupply.com) and see 
if the density of C=M and LC=LM=Y?

If you don't want to buy a scanner someone else may be able to make 
a profile for you- I've heard good things about Cathy's profiles and 
think she does B&W ones.
