The Deskjet has pretty good paper handling, all things considered. I think
it would work.

Nope, you have to save empties. Getting all the black ink out of them is
time-consuming, as well, but it can be done (or at least MOST of the black
ink...)

> 3. How much ink is provided.  Is it as much as is in a standard cartridge?
It takes about 15 ml to fill a cartridge, or about 0.5 oz. A couple years
back, a fellow in INFO wrote about how he had used food coloring in his
Xerox 4020 with great results. Might be worth a try...
