Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steven,

After reading quite a bit more on MIS's web site, I'm pretty  
convinced that there shouldn't be any problem as the flushing liquid  
used to remove the UC inks is the base that is used to dilute the  
UT-7 inks.  Therefore, chemically, they are compatible and would not  
react with each other in order to produce clogging.  I think the only  
"risk" is that you might get some backflow or mixing resulting in  
color discrepancies.  And, from looking over the two sets of  
instructions again, while it states that the flushing process works  
well when switching to one of the BW inksets, the other process no  
where states that it is only for color.

Clearly, some people have had problems whereas you were successful at  
it.  Also, I know that Paul Roark did so as well when he first set up  
his 7600.

All that being said, depending on the condition of the machine, I may  
end up running some flushing liquid through it and let it sit for a  
few days to thoroughly clean it prior to getting started with it.

Thanks for the input,
