Hey Paul,

Unfortunately, I popped out the EZW and popped in the Epson Yellow to print a picture of a 
red barn I have. The printer wouldn't recognize the MIS LK cart all of a sudden. During all 
this ABW experimentation I was doing, I thought it odd that the printer was sucking down 
my cyan and magenta carts at a much faster rate than the EZW cart. Maybe that's normal, 
or maybe I did get a funky cart or two from MIS. We'll see.

At any rate, as luck would have it, I'm totally out of LC now, so I can't do much of anything 
except vacuum and dust--probably a good thing.

Clayton: The funny thing is, I tried your VFA method with the K3s before I went off on this 
tangent and absolutely loved it. But you know how it is--a part of me always thinks I 
might be able to do better.

I'm going to get lost in Death Valley in a couple of weeks. Look for my skull next year out 
by the racetrack--it'll probably have a subtle cyan cast. ;-)

Anyway, best wishes and my gratitude this week to all of you in this forum who patiently 
share your wisdom....

Mike
