Re: Maximum Usable Black vs. Dmax - What's the Big Deal?

Dave, this is pure economics. You buy HP inks in large carts, then you put them into third party carts available mostly for Epson printers, you use QTR to drive printer. End result is much less expensive than using small carts on HP printer. You probably could use BO mode through driver too, but QTR gives you more control. So reason to use Epson is to get refillable carts.
Optionally you could dilute inks to get smooth tonalities.
