Re: 3000 with a dead head

I'd give a qualified yes to your question. It worked very nicely with
inksets called VM and VMS designed by Paul Roark, a member of this
group. These consisted of 3 grays and a toner. One used the grays
alone or in conjunction with the toner. Larger prints are quite
beautiful. Smaller ones, less than approximately 8x10, will be a bit
gritty looking due to it's large dot size IMHO.
I still use one regularly with updated versions of these inksets as
well as quad gray sets. It has proved to be an extremely robust and
easily maintained printer in my experience.

Duane
