Re: Advise for Newbie from down under

Peter: I was using cleaning fluid because it's less expensive than
color, and it's my understanding that those carts use a little ink at
startup. Figured this was cheaper than color ink plus I get a little
extra cleaning job each time I use the printer.

Paul, I have read your Carbon-6 document and I may try that sometime.
Thanks for the reminder.

Regards,

Paul W.
