Swapping Cartridges

Swapping Cartridges

2006-02-21 by Helen Adams

Thanks for all your help on here, it has proved invaluable. I finally ordered an R220 and the MIS-U2 inks both of which I am waiting for. I was looking in the list of posts for one post in which someone mentioned swapping color to b&w cartridges and keeping the unused set in plastic wrap, though I might have misread this.  Is this possible, as there may be some swapping to and fro between ink sets at first. Although I intend to dedicate the R220 to black & white I want to use the color cartridges that come with it to see how the color prints compare to my current printer, as I may get another R220 if they are really good.

Which is the best brand of paper to start off with? I have ordered the Ebony cartridge for matte papers.

Many thanks - Helen
