Digital BW, The Print

David,

Jon Cone at InkjetMall.com has refillable cartridges for the 3800 listed on
the website. I purchased a CIS from Inkjetmall for my 3800 over a year ago
and have used Cone inks and MIS inks successfully. I do have some clogging
issues but most I can work through.  

Inkrepublic.com also has refillable cartridges for the 3800 on their
website. They told me they should work fine with MIS or Cone inks but I have
not tried them.

with the MIS carbon. The true old type sepias I measured and replicated with
the UT2/7 sepia toner were more like Lab B=20+.

I dropped the toner from inksets after UT7.

inkset. If I were to mix one today for my own uses, I'd probably try using
HP or Epson color pigments. It would be interesting to get the Lab A and B
coordinates for the HP and Epson orange or red pigments. They might be
useful for use in reaching a sepia tone.

OK, I guess I should clarify further. I simply used the term "sepia" that
the ink manufacturers were using. I know its not sepia, but I thought if I
used the same term we would be on the same page. So let me restate it more
clearly.
