Digital BW, The Print

It doesn't sound like you replaced the CIS cartridge?  This is what you
really should do.  New cartridges are about $35.  It took me about 30mintues
to flush the lines, replace the cartridge and reload with new ink (this was
with two color ink sets...I'm still running PiezoBW in my VW machines).  I
don't think it is a good idea to mix inks in a single
cartridge...particularly if you are then trying to use VM profiles.
