Howdy folks, My name is Clark and I've been a long time member and lurker of this group. I've messed about a bit on a 1400 with MIS UT-14 inkset. In fact I have a bulk ink system for it that is still sitting in the box untouched since I got it a few years ago. I think I still have a license for QTR that I was running on my Mac under Tiger. My bread and butter is art reproductions that I capture with a Betterlight scanning back and output to canvas and cotton rag papers on a 9900 and 7800. Which brings up the reason for this post. The 7800 seems to be just sitting around waiting for its nozzles to clog and I'm considering repurposing it to a dedicated black and white printer. Not really happy with the Epson ABW mode and am interested in setting it up with an all black inkset. I have an eye1 with ProfileMaker as well as a dtp-41 and Monaco so I am comfortable making profiles and linearizing etc. I also understand that there are some folks printing on bare paper and that intrigues me. I'm looking for advice and suggestions for what to do with this delinquent 7800. The little reprobate just sits in the corner with nothing to do all day. You know what they say about an idle mind. Peace and thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to get started. Clark
