Swirtching bet OEM color inks and MIS eboni on Epson 2200?

2005-12-03 by coddgenealogy

Can one switch the 2200 back and forth between MIS B&W inks and the
Epson color cartridges?  Must one clean the heads? Or is it better to
dedicate a printer to B&W only inks and use another for color prints?
thanks, Jonathan

Yes, you can switch between MIS and UC inks.

I believe it's OK to do that.  I haven't tried it but folks here talk about it.  Paul Roark, I think, suggests that the nozzle end of the cart be squirted with water so any remaining ink won't dry and also cover it with tape.

You'll need to clean the sponge in the 2200 more often than if you had
a printer dedicated to just color or just B&W. Otherwise, the sponge
saturates, and ink wicks up the piezo heads and contaminates the first
pritn or two you run after the printer has sat a half a day or so.
You'll get traces of color in your B&W, or traces of black in your colors.

I just brought a third Epson 2200 online today. This basement is
getting cluttered. When I finally order my 9800, I'm going to really
have to rearrange. I'm thinking all color and larger B&W off the 9800,
B&W up to 13x19 on the 2200 with a 6 dilution ink set, and an Epson
1800 dedicated to digital negatives up to 13x19.
