David: as I remember previous discussions there were early clog
problems with Eboni as a result of mixing with the old dye ink picked
up from the sponge. I believe it was Paul Rourke that concluded you
needed to flush the traces of the dye ink from the sponge when you
changed carts to keep Eboni from clogging.
