>You are also dealing with the complication of the printer driver.

I would do the following;

1. Get an empty "spongeless" ink cartridge for each color.
2. Get a few extra black chips.
3. Zap all cartridges to full if necessary.
4. Place the ink mix or whatever in a black chipped cartridge and 
install.
5. Install the rest of the empty cartridges.
6. Choose the transparency setting if exists.
7. Choose black ink only and the highest resolution allowed for the 
black ink/transparency setting.
8. Test.

Typically, the transparency setting uses the least amount of ink, 
allows black ink only at resolutions beyond draft and does not 
require the use of other colours for edge smoothing.

Drivers for the high end Epsons also have color density control 
(amount of ink used) and drying time control. Such a printer would be 
ideal.
