Re: R220 Ink Change / Cleaning?

2006-08-24 by paulmwhiting

I've been having the same questions, Antoine, but I'll bet I'm even
greener than you, however! What I want to do is something similar...
put an Eboni black cart in the black dye position, leaving the color
dyes where they are and pring with BO printing. Question is, do I
replace the Eboni cart with the dye black, or will the Eboni black be
happy printing with the dye color carts?

Not exactly your issue but related... let's hope someone helps us out!

Thanks for posting this question,

Paul
