Digital BW, The Print

I can't see how this is is any different with just replacing Epson
carts normally.  If one is empty and one is low, you run the risk of a
double cleaning cycle.  

What we are talking about is, for example, when our last genuine Epson
light magenta cart is empty, and the printer still has all genuine
Epson carts for the other colours, replacing just the light magenta
Epson cart with the MIS refillable equivalent.  And so on for other
colours as they empty.

The issue is re-profiling, not cleaning cycles.
