Terry,

Yes, I was running dual quads consisting of neutral K7 on one side  
and carbon sepia on the other in my 4000.  Worked quite well with  
QTR, but I switched over to MIS K4 (no LLK) so I could do color work  
as well.  I never used all 7 dilutions of the K7 inks and didn't  
really see any need to do so after using the dual quad setup (very  
smooth transitions).  I may go back to that arrangement again if I  
can dedicate one printer for monochrome.
