Re: Epson 1430, Eboni-6 and flushing

2013-01-10 by remononaz1

John:

I switch between Claria color, MIS color, UT14 and Carbon-6 pretty frequently in my 1400. The printer runs through a long head cleaning each time you park the heads to do a change and that is all that is needed. Run a nozzle test to be sure the new set is OK and you are G2G. I posted some notes on this on my blog in the tools section. remononaz.blogspot.com

This is particularly important with wide format printers that have tubes between the carts and the heads.9 Eboni-6 and UltraChrome inks should also not mix on the parking pads. As such, rinse them before installing and do not have UltraChrome inks in the same printer as Eboni-6.
