Re: [Digital BW] Re: 1280 piezo ink installation

Wow: that was fast.  Thanks, Shilesh.

I've got the new (warmtone) piezo inks, in cartridges.  So I take it that
I should do the flushing step.  One more specific question, if I may...

The piezo instructions for the Epson 3000 include a quite complex
sequence of steps: remove old inks, turn off printer, wait, turn on
printer, install flushing carts, wait, repeat above steps again, print
purge pattern, remove flush carts, turn printer off, wait, turn on,
install new inks, and print purge pattern again (I'm not making this up).

Any idea how many of these steps are important for the 1280, and why?
