Digital BW, The Print

Well, that didn't appear to work. It's such and exact and unchanging nozzle check 
variation, that I think something could be damaged on the head. I really have no idea.

I'm at the point where I'm thinking about just forgoing that slot and making the 3MK work 
using a different slot. I believe in your R1800 work up, you talked about being able to 
make this printer last for years by using QTR to designate any three cartridges for the 
Eboni ink. 

However, after searching here and the QTR Yahoo Group, I have no idea how to do this. Is 
it possible for a QTR newbie like me to make this happen? It's the matte black that's 
messed up, so I was thinking I'd have my three be Cyan, PK, and GO.

Paul, any advice would be appreciated.
