Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Purging inks when switching to B&W?

2014-12-21 by Nick Payne

Thanks. So does that mean that I need another set of refillable carts to 
take the generic base, or can I partly fill the carts I already have 
with the base, perform the flush, and then empty the carts (is that 
possible?) before filling them with the actual ink?

Is there any reason why I shouldn't just fill the carts with the EB6 
ink, install them, and perform a couple of power cleans to flush the 
previous Epson ink from the lines and print heads? I have a pint of each 
position EB6 ink, and a spare maintenance cartridge somewhere, so if I 
lose 20ml or 40ml from each cart with a couple of power cleans, that's 
not really a problem.
