Carl, I have the color kit and a DJ-500. I have some good news...8-)

First the good (with some provisions) : I have not yet used the stuff but
the brochure sent with it shows some stunning color work. The reason that
I havent used it is...

Now the bad news: You have to have a program that prints 4-color seps to 
get any meaningful benefit from the kit. The kit comes with the inks but
YOU supply the cartridges (I have three: 2 full and 1 half full. Havent
gotten around to emptying them), 4 in all: red, green, yellow, black. I
think thats the 4 colors. Finally, when printing, you will have to make
four seperate passes with the paper so that the color can overlay.

Now, somewhere on one of these Amiga SIGs, I heard something about an HP
color DJ. My bro' works for HP so I am going to talk to him about it.
