I would suggest you try OCP German inks. I have a great success with them in my R1800

I haven't done any serious digital printing before, let alone with

third-party inks, so I thought buying a first set of factory-filled

cartridges would minimize my chances to screw up.



Sure, it's a bit more expensive upfront, but not radically so, and it's

a tiny sum in the long term.

I guess plain water will rinse the syringe sufficiently.

initially, then another set of empty carts. But I guess I might as well

get 'em all together.
