RE: [Digital BW] Epson 2200: MK to PK Ink Swap ...To do or not To do

2003-10-28 by Jake Hellbach

Just swap the carts. I just put the one not being used in a plastic bag.
Nothing leaks from it and I've never had a problem with drying or clogs.

  Once a cartridge has been installed (ie. punctured), does anyone
  have experience switching back and forth between photo and matte
  black cartridges?

  If so, are there any tricks to preventing the inks from drying out?
  Storage orientation? In a plastic bag? etc.

  Or is this a risk not worth taking...in terms of dried out ink,
  clogging heads, other damage to the printer, and/or print quality?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Best,

  JB
