Re: [Digital BW] Re: Switching black inks - Epson 4800

2007-03-25 by Alan Kearney

I've been watching this discussion with much interest as I'm about to  
buy a 4800. The dealer here in No. California (Palo Alto) tells me  
that Epson now supplies 3 dummy carts that when inserted make the  
machine only purge the black ink you're swapping, at a cost of  
pennies instead of flushing the whole printer for dollars! Now is  
this shop "blowing smoke" or is this something that no one on this  
discussion board knows about or bothers with???

Thanks, Alan
