Movement of the table should be no problem.

It is recommnended that the OEM Claria inks be rinsed out, but it may not make any difference.  MIS says the Eboni-6 base is not compatible with the Epson UltraChrome inks, but I'm not sure about Claria.  I have heard of no particular problem with the other MIS inks or the C6 base.  So, I have no 100% answer for you here.
