I have been using Lyson Small Gamut inks on my 1270, and would like to
switch over to MIS FS.  I found the following on inkjetart.com:

Is this true of the Small Gamut inks as well?  And is there a consensus
regarding this?  (I don't have cleaning cartridges for the 1270; just for my
860.)

Yes. Use the cleaning carts.
