Re: Switching from Ultrachrome to K7

2005-10-23 by Jon Cone

I don't think that its worth it to do this with a 4000. You do not need to flush however. All 
you need to do is an  "INIT FILL" followed by two KK2 CLEANINGS.  However, you lose 
about 10% of the previous ink with an init fill, and you take up about 30% or more of the 
maintenance tank. After awhile this is going to begin costing you an arm and a leg. 
Wouldn't be a problem if you do it every once in awhile. But I don't think its practical for 
frequent changing.
