Using 2200 for first time

2004-03-07 by fredila2

Hi,

I'll be receiving my 2200 in a couple of days and would like to 
confirm the approach to the ink installation.

Initially, I will use the 2200 for both color and b/w.  My b/w will 
be done using the "black only" method described by Clayton Jones.

I also purchased the Ultrachrome Eboni inkset and a spare Eboni 
cartridge from MIS.

I intend to first try the 2200 with the original Epson inks to be 
sure the printer is working properly.

Then I will install the Eboni black cartridge (in lieu of the Epson 
Photo Black) and do my printing until the Epson cartridges are 
exhausted.

Then I will switch to a complete set of MIS Ultrachromes.

Does this approach sound OK?  Or, do I need to switch over 
completely to the MIS inks after the first Epson cartridge is 
exhausted.  Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for the help.

Fred Rothenberg
