Digital BW, The Print

Johnny, why not just use the $5 dye ink carts from MIS in the color
position for your 1280. Not quite a cheap as Windex but you can print
color then whenever you have the need. 

I find color handy for when the kids send me a JPG that I want to show
to my wife or when I have color text. None of that lasts for more than
a few days, so archivalness is never an issue. But having a color
option is a bit nice. BTW, my color is in an extra printer, a 890. My
1280 has UT-2. 

Have you considered a BO CFS? You'd only need the K cart and one tube
plus a 4 oz. bottle of Eboni.
