Paul, the Inkmun Inks are merely refill inks and cleaner solution sets. They give you mageta, cyan, yellow, and black to do a 4 color seperation. You have to empty an original HP cartridge (do lots of printing), and then clean out the ink that is hiding in the corners of the cartridge. Refill, and away you go. (The process is a little bit labor intensive, but not any big deal.) Of course, you have to do this 3 times, for each color. I just use an original HP cartridge for the black pass, and save some hassle. I use PageStream 2.1 for all desktop, (looking into ProVector) due to its ease of use and great results, select 4 color seperation on output, and the printer grabs a sheet. After the pass is complete, replace the cartridge with the next color, and repeat. The order is Cyan,Magenta,Yellow ,Black. Results are great. Full colour at 300 DPI. Spot color is a breeze. Just pick mechanical, and PageStream will print each colour as a seperate pass. Simple, and great results. The only hassle is waiting for cartridges to empty. Once empty, you just keep refilling them. You can buy a full kit or an individual colour/cleaner refill. Good Luck on your Printerquest… any more questions, give a shout. Bob Felts 72767,642

Boy, this is terrific news about color on a Deskjet, one happy puppy here! I didn't quite understand your comment… >>Spot color is a breeze. Just pick mechanical, and >>Pagestream will print… What is this mode (operation)? Is it a pagestream process or printer function, I missed something (don't have a green visor and rolled up shirt sleeves :)…). Thanx again, Paul –pt–not seattle– 😉
