Most of the problems with MIS inks stem from using pigment inks (from 
them) in a printer originally designed for dye based inks. That is where 
they can clog, I think.

You can test b/w for you R800 by simply downloading quadtone rip. It has 
built-in support for the original inks from Epson and additionally, the 
K7 inks.

You can do quite a lot with the original inks. You definitely get rid of 
the color cast in b/w prints.

The cartridges probably won't get here until early next week. I'll do a 
follow-up on them.

Best,
Daniel
