If no Lyson was in the C86, it'll be OK to just go back and forth between
Epson and MIS.  Of course, a little color remains until a good cleaning
cycle.

EEM is a good paper to use as long as archival storage is not anticipated.

It depends on the paper.  With EEM, I might try the EZ-N in C&M, and an EZ-W
in the yellow spot.

Good luck.
