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!
