I just bought the K7 inkset. All I had to do was clean the heads once and away I went. It's

And by the way, you really can tone the prints by switching papers. The Bradford Brilliant

I've tried many of the papers included in QTR for the K7 inks. I'm leaning towards 
Hahnemule William Turner and Innova Soft Texture.

Thanks Jon for a wonderful inkset!!
