I have an old Epson Stylus Pro 3800 (presently running Epson inks) for which I've purchased some refillable carts and some MIS EB6 carbon inks. The instructions say flushing is required prior to using the new ink and carts - what's the recommended method of doing this? Nick

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. Nick
