Re: Cleaning carts needed when switching from OEM to Eboni?

2008-07-07 by Paul Whiting

Thanks, Roger... actually I'm not planning to use dye-based ink at
all. I'll use the MK and BK positions and the GLOP position for the
Eboni, leaving the other five color positions as is. As those five go
down simply from startups I'll refill them with MIS cleaning fluid
since I don't plan to do color.

So, help me clarify here... you did not use cleaning carts in MK, PK,
and GLOP before installing the Eboni?

Thanks again!
