Digital BW, The Print

I have not used them myself but from what I understand, Lyson inks have 
a different pH so
flip-flopping without using the cleaning fluid would be a problem. As 
far as using OEM dye carts
to try getting rid of a rebel clog, I think that the solvent in the dye 
inks is actually the one doing
the heavy-duty work. I am not sure what solution is used to dilute the 
pigments but it seems to be less
effective in that task.
