Re: [Digital BW] New ink new printer how long before I can use it ?

2001-12-04 by Julian Thomas

Mike, flush the epson inks with a flush cart. Install the new FS carts. Do
a clean cycle. Nozzle check. If ok fire away. If not do 4clean/wick cycles
(clean then park the head on the right for a couple of secs - this helps the
clean action), nozzle check. If bad, let sit for about 4 hours then repeat.
You will loose a lot in carts firing up a new system. Maybe you could get
some virgin empties from MIS plus some 4oz bottles and refill the carts.
Best of luck!
Julian
