Re: UT7 to Eboni-6: Flushing required?

2008-04-04 by pr_roark

I'd flush the system.  Eboni-6 uses a base that MIS (or Image 
Specialists) says is not compatible with UltraChromes and many other 
similar glossy bases.  They've somewhat hedged their statements in the 
sense that I have not heard specifically that it is not compatible with 
the UT glossy base.  However, I did try Eboni-6 with MIS Glop, and I 
had some nozzle problems that I felt were not normal.  In my view there 
is a very good chance Eboni-6 and glop are not compatible.  MIS glop is 
in the UT7 inks, including the LK.  So, I would flush those lines, and 
I would not use the UT7 LK with Eboni-6.  It is a different and likely 
incompatible ink.

Good luck with the system.
