Hi Bob,

Do you know if you're able to mix standard carts with the ACR chip 
carts?

The ultimate for me would be to be able to use the standard "color" 
carts with an ACR chipped MK (Eboni)cart in the black position.

That way, when I need to do a "run" of color prints, I could just 
switch out the blacks.
