Since I haven't used distilled water to attempt to flush out a system I won't comment on that. It seems risky to me but I guess it is possible. I wouldn't do it. I hate working on these machines and the price of flush carts is very cheap in comparison. I belive MIS associates also sells a flush fluid but inkjetmall sells the media street version. Greg just listed another one he uses. As to color I haven't found one that I would call a warm result with these inks though Jon Cone suggests Innova Cold Press. I like that paper a lot but it has a substantial texture that some like and some don't. It resembles Arches Coldpress printmaking paper. Hahnemuhle William Turner is a tad warmer than others but not much. Cone also recommends one of the Bradford papers I believe. Look on their site. I have't tried them yet. I do know that for a cool tone Premier Art Hotpress works well ( Epson Ultrasmooth).
