Digital BW, The Print

I personally haven't had any significant clogging problems with the UT7 
inks, but I'm using refilled Epson carts, so my setup is a little bit 
different.

I have had some problems getting the print head aligned properly after I 
got the UT7 inks though, although right now everything seems to work 
reasonably well. Not sure if this was an ink problem or just my printer 
being difficult.

I've never used flush carts when switching from Epson to MIS inks, but 
it takes several cleaning cycles to get rid of all the color, so you 
probably don't want to do the switch too often to avoid wasting ink.

Try to ask MIS if they have the refill friendly 2200 carts available. 
Bob mentioned a few weeks ago that they were expecting to get those 
cartridges any moment. If you refill from bottles the ink price is 
reduced to around 1/5-1/10 of the prefilled cartridge price.

Also try their forum:

I find it's a great place to get support for their products.
