T SQL Rotate row into columns

Question

SQL 2005 using T-SQL, I want to rotate rows into columns. Sample script:

Use TempDB
Go

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CPPrinter_InkLevels](
    [CPPrinter_InkLevels_ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [CPMeasurementGUID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [InkName] [varchar](30) NOT NULL,
    [InkLevel] [decimal](6, 2) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_CPPrinter_InkLevels] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [CPPrinter_InkLevels_ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

This handles up to 10:

SELECT  *
FROM    (
         SELECT CPMeasurementGUID
               ,col + CAST(Seq AS varchar) AS colname
               ,val
         FROM   (
                 SELECT CPMeasurementGUID
                       ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CPMeasurementGUID ORDER BY CPPrinter_InkLevels_ID) AS Seq
                       ,CAST(InkName AS varchar) AS Ink
                       ,CAST(InkLevel AS varchar) AS Level
                 FROM   [dbo].[CPPrinter_InkLevels]
                ) AS X UNPIVOT ( val FOR col IN ([Ink], [Level]) ) AS unpvt
        ) AS Y PIVOT ( MAX(val) FOR colname IN ([Ink1], [Level1], [Ink2], [Level2], [Ink3], [Level3], [Ink4], [Level4],
                                                [Ink5], [Level5], [Ink6], [Level6], [Ink7], [Level7], [Ink8], [Level8],
                                                [Ink9], [Level9], [Ink10], [Level10]) ) AS pvt
