I need your counsel

2010-02-12 by paulekohl

I was given a printer by the university where I teach in Singapore that had been disabled by a student accidently. It then sat for over two years unused with ink in the lines. I conceived a project to convert it to all black inks and got a small grant to do the work.
When I started this, I had only a cursory glance at the machine, saw it was a 44" printer and assumed it was a 9600. I then decided to use Cone inks and QTR to drive it. All's good so far.
I checked out the machine again today needing the model number and, to my horror, discovered it was a 10600.
From everything I can find out, there is no support for this machine in QTR or by Jon's inks. The carts are chipped. 
So, is there any way I can continue to pursue a black-ink-only option with this printer? Are there any carts into which I can pour Cone inks? This is going to have to work in a photography digital lab.
Any and all suggestions will be carefully considered and thanks very much in advance.
Paul
