Re: Clayton ---re BO

2003-10-26 by David Sinai

Hi Clayton,

I am also interested in trying out the MIS Eboni in my 2200.  I 
imagine the cartridge should go in the slot where I currently have 
my Matte black. Do I need to flush my printer or perform any kind of 
cleaning cycle before introducing the MIS ink? Is it as simple as 
swapping the Epson Photo Black and Epson Matte Black?
Thanks,
David

P.S. - How about them Marlins?
