Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

I am looking for the common wisdom on replacing ink cartridges on my 
2400 that aren't yet empty. I just received my set of UT-3D inks (all 
cartriges) and I am anxious to try them out since I do mostly B&W. 
However, the current Epson k3 cartriges are still about 1/3-1/2 full.

Do I 

a) suck it up an use up the Epson cartridges until they are empty and 
then switch them

b) Swap them out now, an store the epson ones (in a plastic bag or 
whatever) and use them later.

Thanks for any guidance

Brian

Hello Brian,

>b) Swap them out now, an store the epson ones (in a plastic bag or 
>whatever) and use them later.

One advantage of b) is that if you ever have to send it for repair or
return, or swap it in an upgrade plan, you can put those carts back in
and not have to go buy a set.

Paul Roark recommends using water to clean off any ink residue on the
bottom of the poppet valve before storing to ensure it doesn't dry and
clog.

Regards,
Clayton
