Hi  Tyler:

Thanks for responding. I don't know what you're referring to  when you say 
it's the "wrong" 
cart; both the gloss and matte black ink  carts go in the same slot--just one 
*or* the other. 
My gloss black cart is  almost used up and I was hoping to simply remove the 
gloss black 
and  insert the new matte cart in its place. Normally I would go through the 
black  ink 
switching routine and lose a lot of all 8 inks, but maybe I can just  slap 
the matte black in 
there and print away, knowing that eventually the  K line would eventually be 
flushed 
through with all MK ink. Just a  thought, and I'm open to any more comments 
on potential 
problems with  doing this.

Thanks again!

What Tyler is saying is what your machine is going to tell you. Using the  
procedure you describe, you will get a red ink light with "WRONG CART" on the  
LCD.
The  4000 and X600 printers had a work-around called the South  African 
switch, but someone has yet to come up with one for the x800 series of  printers. I 
wound up getting a second 4800 as my work-around.
