Digital BW, The Print

Keep your 4000 for the matte black ink and use the photo black in the 4800.

Thanks Steve, I really appreciate the time you've taken to respond clearly.
Thanks to everyone that replied as well. I've thought of the 3800 as an
option but lacking roll paper feeds and the "lighter" build is pushing me
towards the 4800. I've been using a 4000 for 3 years with no troubles so
really looking forward to K3 inks in a platform as sturdy as that printer.



It sounds like proper planning of printing styles may be the key to
economical (relatively) ink usage. That or having two machine running at
once.



Alan

It does the cleaning after instructing you to put the proper carts back in.

I can't remember how much ink is used. I seem to recall circa 80ml of ink
but perhaps someone else has a better memory.
