Re: R2400 ? cost for PK to MK changeover

2006-12-30 by Scott Jones

Hi Clayton,

Thanks for the response. Sorry about my imprecision on using the 
term "lines". I really just mean the cleaning of the R2400 mechanism. 
Do you know whether all the colors are cleaned out or just the black 
part? If it is just the black, then I suspect there is minimal cost. 
But another poster suggested that the changeover used up 1/4 of the 
color carts which is a whopping amount of ink. Any experience?
