HP DesignJet T7100 Printer
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Our local vendor has just notifed us that "HP 761 Gray 400-ml Ink  (M995A)" is obslete and can not be delivered to us anymore. Can "HP 761 Gray 400-ml Ink  (M995A)"  be replaced with "HP 761 Dark Gray 400-ml Ink (CM996A) " ? Without affectinf the quality of colored and b/W prints? What about the printhead? I guess , for printheads there will not be a problem as both work on the same printhead "HP 761 Gray/Dark Gray Printhead (CH647A)"
