Jerry (or any others),

I recently bought an 1160 with a Niagara CIS that had used color dye
inks. I want to change it to use MIS FS inks. I understand that I will
need to order new carts and wash out the tube lines. But I also heard
I will need to buy some kind of vacuum kit to prime the lines and
carts. Anyone know where I can get info on what exactly I need to
order, where and how to do this kind of thing?

Thanks.

Best regards,
 Richard
