Digital BW, The Print

The 1400 with HP PK in black only mode, with QTR, is just fine quality and tone wise, and BO keeps the artifacts under control better. For the glossy brochures I don't need 100% carbon.

The only inks I need to buy and keep for this 1400 setup are the high density, relatively economical (more image area per dollar) MK and PK inks.  2% Eboni can be purchased (Eboni-6 Y position), but I mix C6b base for mine.  Carts need to be changed less and it's easier -- only 3 inks.

Paul,

The Eboni 2%, what spot would it take in a quad setup ?

I'm interested in a similar A4 B&W printer, in the EU it will be the 
R285 with 1.5 pl but using HP Vivera MK + PK + LGrey ? inks in it.
The same way you mention. Choices for Vivera grey ink are just two. QTR 
probably doesn't have a driver for it but there might be a US A4 driver 
equivalent that copes.

The printer is at 80 Euro, feeding it with leftover ink of the Z models 
must be possible, though they drain the carts down to a few ML.
