You will want numbers for the Eboni and UT matt so you can be sure
which is which. I'm still using the old quadtone black and it's dated
but not bad. When I finish that off, I'll be going BO eboni for the 1270.

Hi Gary. When you do finish with the old MIS quad black and go to
Eboni it will be a mistake if you just print the cart down and push
Eboni into it. The old quad blacks have some dye in them. Eboni will
gel in the presence of dyes. That will happen in the heads as well as
in the cart.

You need to clear the old inks out first including remnants left in
the heads and on the cap station. Hence the recommendation of cleaning
cart first. I believe that, at this point in time, MIS is no longer
selling the old types of ink so there will soon be no choice but to do
this if you want to preserve your printer. (Note: I have two 1200s and
know whereof I speak :) )
