Digital BW, The Print

Another consideration is that each time you insert a
new cart the printer will do a purge of all of the
carts in the printer.  I recall a thread about this on
the Epson printer forum a year or so ago.  When the
carts were replaced one at a time people would often a
different cart run below the allowed ink level during
the installation purge, and they would then have to
replace another cart and suffer through another purge.
 If your timing was extremely unlucky you could have
to replace your carts one at a time and waste ink by
purges for each cart.  Your original "new" cart could
be empty by the time you replaced them all!

Steve's point is another strong reason to replace them
all at once and save them.
