Bill, With my designjet 130nr I always just let the printer tell me when the cats are empty then change them. Occasionally it will even stop mid print but this hasn't to be an issue at all.

As I'm based in the UK I get my inks in the triple packs from www.* inkemporium*.co.uk who usually have the triple packs in stock and deliver Free. regards Mark 2008/11/11 Bill Elliott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Ron, > > I want to make sure I understand what you're saying here.
