Re: UT7 to Eboni-6: Flushing required?

2008-04-06 by Roger

As far as I'm aware Eboni itself is the stock matte ink that comes 
with the MIS R1800 inkset so it has got to be fully compatible with 
the other R1800 inks.  I use it myself.

Eboni 6 contains dilutes in a different base I belive.

I also don't think MISPRO is the normal inkset for the R1800- that 
printer has red and blue inks not LM and LC.

Once I find some carts that aren't defective I'm going to try the 
smae thing as you with the R1800 glossy and 3-MK.
