Of course! The printer doesn't know that you've removed yellow from its 
universe. The results I was reporting were based on building a new PrintFIX PRO 2.0 
profile for the printer once the EZ W carbon yellow cartridge was 
installed... that corrects for the difference. Other methods of adjusting should also be 
possible, I used this one as it was what I was testing...
