Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Mark,

I jiggled, swore, etc, and then decided to put back the Epson carts. 
Turns out it was the yellow.  While it looked like it had a lot of ink
in it and did not show low before I put the Cyan in, I replaced the
yellow cart and all is well.

WHile I like the K7 inks, if I am going to have to replace the carts
when they are half full, this could get expensive.  The 2400 is
looking like a better bet.

Thanks again for your rapid reply.

Steve
