Hi Patrick,

Yes, 95% of what I do is color.  The ability to print B/W without switching 
cartridges was a bonus. For someone who needs high quality prints with quick 
turn-a-round it's perfect.  It's also great to know that you don't have the 
clogging problem if your not using the printer for a few weeks.  If you have 
more specific questions I'll try and answer them.

Regards,
Franc
