Re: Multiple MIS Inksets used on one printer

2002-10-23 by Jeff Randall

Don:

I swap CFS units on my 1270 between MIS Archival Color and FS-E with 
no problems.  Two things to remember: the more frequently you swap, 
the more likely you are to introduce air into the printheads, and the 
longer a CFS unit is unused, the more likely it is to develop sludge 
in the lines due to the water/solvent permeability of the tygon 
tubes.
