Well, I used ink that is produced by Sheaffer (correct I hope). The name is
'Skrip ink'. It is designed for use in caligraphy pencils, but we use the
black colour for all our normal printing. You will have to get hand on some
'High capacity' cartridges, clean them, fill them and use them. You could
use the normal black/green cartridges, but it contains some sort of spunge
(damn word), and is therefore harder to clean. It should come in bottles, but
for the tests I did, I used the fillings for a, well, eh, an eh...fountain (?)
-pen.

Some other guy told me to use lazure ink, but I have no info on that.

: the page and then you insert it again, or does the printer pull the paper back
: itself. I am asking because there might be problems with inserting the paper
: EXACTLY the same way as before for the new color.

The printer cannot, by my knowledge, pull the paper in again. Besides, ink
must have it's chance to dry thoroughly. I just put the paper back in the tray
and printed the next colour. There are small differences between two passes
in positioning, but in all fariness, it is not a DeskJet 500 C is it?

I found the printer's transport mechanism accurate enough, not for full-
colour printing all the time, but for supporting colours, yes! BTW when making
full-colour prints, the small positioning differencies blend the different
colours a bit, so they will look 'better'.

Good luck, and...eh, don't forget to follow up to my original question, all
of you ready this article!
