Actually, it's MIS that says when switching from Ultrachrome to Eboni-6 flushing is required.  My position is that one should listen to MIS with respect to their inks.  

For Carbon-6, no flushing is required, as far as I know.  I think MIS is concerned with something in the Eboni-6 dilution base that is not in the C6 base.  

> As I've never flushed inks before, and will be using the dilution base in refillable carts, I'm assuming I just run a few cleaning cycles with that base through my R2400 until the waste is clear (I'm using an external waste tank).  Is that sufficient?

I suspect it is more than enough.
