RE: [Digital BW] Re: The right BW ink for epson 7500 matte & glossy papers

Actually a little known secret is that good-old Windex (or an off brand)
loaded into carts is an excellent and harmless flushing agent. It has about
the same pH (around 10.5) as the inks and other flushing fluids, and works
equally well if not better. I've used it for years for short and long term
in all of my printers (including the 7000, 7800, 4880, R2880 , 1400, R2400,
etc) with not the slightest harm to any of the components. You can usually
find it in bulk 1/2 gallon bottles for about $3-$6 - a rather immense cost
saving.

For flushing up epson inks from 7500 I understood I should use flushing
liquid from MIS, I have found two and I am not sure which one to use and
what are the differences.

One is BASE and other is BASE-UT as mentioned on this page
