Thank you, Paul

quite nice.  It has some cyan and R800 Blue in it, but I held it down
as much as I could and still have what I considered a good black black
only print.  One cart in an R1800 will band.  Three of the PKNs would
probably be fine.  There are also dilute RC inks for the R260 etc.
that would make a good inkset for the 1800, but I have not gone there.
 See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R260.htm for information on
the “RC” (“R” printers with Claria inks, but PKN will work in
any newer Epson).

Thank you Paul, I ordered inks and carts this morning. 

Unfortunately I did not understand your comment in parenthesis.

Cheers
