Digital BW, The Print

For those of us dabbling in B&W and maintaining Color functionality with our
2400s--

If we replace yellow for LLK to print BW, would it be as simple as putting
back the yellow cart when we need color? Or is there a fancy, ink-intensive
flushing protocol required first to go back? At the risk of repeating a
question: Will any special settings in ABW be required when running an
inkset with replaced Y => carbon LLK?
