Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I can't understand why you didn't leave the color inks in their proper places, and replacing then with cleaning fluid.  By leaving the color inks in place you could have had a dedicated BO printer, and a matte color printer in one.  For aesthetic reasons, I sometimes print my B&W images with a cool or sepia tone, which I can with the color inks in place.  Having removed them, you can't.

I just want to add a note of encouragement, I've been happy with my R1800 and Paul's method of printing BO prints, with QTR. I ended up with getting the refillable carts from MIS, with Eboni in the three positions you mentioned, and the MIS cleaning fluid in the five color positions. Simple, inexpensive, with fine results.
