Digital BW, The Print

Hello everyone,

To jump into archival B&W printing, I'm going the Epson 1280 route 
starting with the MIS inks.  As I just got the printer, but haven't 
received the inks yet, is there any reason to run the included Epson 
inks through first?  Would I need to flush the printer if I did?  If 
so, would I need to use a flushing kit?  

Thanks :)

Linda

P.S. This is a great list!
