Digital BW, The Print

I do not own cleaning carts and did not use them when I put MK in R,
B, MK and PK to test the printer.  I went from OEM to Eboni just fine
and then went back to MIS pigment without incident.

Cleaning fluid is a good idea for the other color positions as if
anything happens to one of your channels a replacement will be ready
to go.
