Re: [Digital BW] Re:K3 Inks in a 4000?

Steve,

No, you just can't use the PK and MK channels at the same time.  It  
would have been nice to be able to add an LLK ink to one of these  
black slots and still keep all of the color slots, but Epson reserved  
that configuration for the 4800 which was already in the works when  
they were selling the 4000.
