RE: [Digital BW] Ink mixing - MIS ut eboni with epson dye

2004-06-06 by Graphikris

Keith, another thing I haven't noticed anyone mention is
the fact that you still have a bit of residual color in
the printhead and ink lines.  Even if you don't have any
incompatibility in chemistry, I would suggest flushing
just because you won't see a gradual change of neutral
or strange tonality while the small amount of residual
color ink dilutes slightly contaminates the b/w inks.
