It uses the same inks as the 260, but different carts.  I like to do BO prints.  I downloaded and installed the newest version of QTR for Windows (I am using Win7 Pro x64). QTR recognizes the 730 but IDs the model as the 260.  I seem to be able to select an image, but when I select "print" it seems to just stall and never connect with the printer.

Let me try this again . . .

I am planning on returning to B/W printing after some time away. My current printer is an Epson Artisan 730 pumping 6 Claria color inks and using PS5.  Upgrading to a WC is not in the cards.  I have the correct empty carts for the 730 and would like to fill them with bulk FSN inks while using the Epson driver. This is not one of the 6 color printers shown on MIS website for FSN but hoping someone out there has some advice on using this combination.  MIS was a nonstarter.  My contact did not even know they still sold carts for the 730, they do! I am hoping that since the 730 uses the same inkset as my old 260 I can use the CMCMY setup as described by Paul Roark.  Maybe even a BO set up using Eboni.  Comments and advice welcomed.
