(plenty of ink there). I have been through the configuration settings
(gray-scale, text, etc.) and can't seem to get it to use the BCI-3e.
Any advice?

Thanks!


You didn't mention how you were able to tell which cartridge was being
used?

I can tell you that BCI-3e ink (OEM or true pigment aftermarket)

nothing aftermarket is true.

is near
waterproof while BCI-6 is not.

near waterproof means it is not waterproof. that is like almost pregnant.


Of course things can be near waterproof. Spill water on a page printed
with BCI-3e, wipe it dry and it's fine. Do the same with BCI-6 ink and
it's smudged. Capisce?

So if you wet a BCI-3e printout it will
stay sharp. If BCI-6 black was used the ink will to feather and lose
sharpness.
