That is probably your problem.  NanoChrome ink appears to be predominantly
dye.  It will probably react with Eboni.  You'll need to flush out the
entire line.  If Eboni and NanoChrome has mixed in the damper, it may be
clogged and need cleaning.  See Steve's previous post.

If the line was flushed before the Eboni was loaded, it should have washed
out the dye.

I'm not familiar with the carts, but it sounds like you may need to "prime"
them to get the air out.

Flush the black line, however, before the Eboni and NanoChrome can touch
each other.  Be sure to rinse the parking pad also.  Eboni and dye are not
compatible.  (The other MIS inks are not that sensitive.)

Good luck.
