Thanks Walker. Others I think have used MK ink on the 3800 and 3880 which is a different ink set than the HD MK ink. So, even with some special profiles in QTR

Thanks Paul. I was hoping you d answer! ;) For the Option 2 plan (clear fluid in the defective Cyan channel and then work with the rest), would it make sense

I d go for option 2, with clear fluid (like my generic clear base, for example) in the defective channel. You still have plenty of carbon channels. Paul
