That is good.  I hope the duties are not too bad.

The Eboni black ink reacts with Epson dyes.  So, while MIS says there is not
enough dye in the desktop printer heads to cause problems, I think the head
parking pads might have a lot of dye on them that will be a source of clogs.

What I did with my 1280 that seemed to work was rinse the pads off very
thoroughly with Windex.  (Probably a mild ammonia solution or even plain
water would do.)  I used a syringe with a small tube on the end of it to
reach the pads and then repeatedly soaked them and dried them with a paper
towel.  This totally stopped the clogging I was having after the printer had
sat for a while.

I find when I vacuum fill the 1160 carts, I can stick them in and print
immediately.  This is, at least, true for the carts that show the ink all
the way through to the seal at the outlet.  I have some carts that still
have air between the outlets and seals that can take a some cleaning cycles
to get started.

With bottom filling your approach is probably better.

Good luck with your printing.
