RE: Use of color ink

["Paul D. DeRocco" <pderocco@ix.netcom.com>]

Well, if it's capable of printing discrete colors, then it should be capable
of cleaning discrete colors, since (as far as I know) there's no fundamental
difference between printing and cleaning, other than that cleaning squirts
ink on the sponge rather than on paper. The ability to clean individual
colors would be nice, since you can see what needs cleaning with an
alignment check print.

Indeed, it may be possible (if you know the print algorithm) to create test
prints that only exercise certain nozzles, thus making it possible to purge
specific nozzles, thus saving ink, at the cost of a piece of plain paper.
