I have not written the 1400 YK option up as a separate approach at 
this point.  I do have some profiles in 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/1400-Profiles.zip
for those with Eboni-6 in their 1400s.  They can then see what the YK 
alone and with a 50/50 blend of black only looks like.

I'd probably not use water in the other positions.  I like the idea 
of 3Y3K or 4Y2K just to avoid having to re-fill the carts all the 
time -- particularly the Y cart.  A 2 bottle CIS would be a nice 
addition to this type of setup.  I just converted my old 2200 
SuperJet CIS to this for the 2200 -- cut the ribbon, drill holes in 
MIS bottles, and insert the tubes (with some wire holding them 
together in the bottle).  It's easy (if a bit messy with a used CIS). 

For most people the Eboni-6 as written up is probably the way to 
start.  But I'm probably going to conver to a YK combo -- just don't 
need the other inks in 1.5 pl printers.
