If you are referring to the 'muddiness' of graphic output, this is due
(mostly) to the preferences driver for the Deskjet.  There are a couple
of commercially available replacement drivers which will help
considerably, as will using a GOOD quality laser bond paper (I use
Boise Cascade, with outstanding results).  I suspect that the new ink
will yield excellent results with this type of paper.
