How do I empty cartridges of cleaning fluid?

2014-02-01 by <paulmwhiting@...>

Hello,

I did some searching before I posted this but no luck... apologies if this has been discussed earlier.

I have some cleaning carts in my refurbed 1400 and would like to fill them with the Carbon-6 inkset. Had good success mixing the various dilutions of Eboni and am ready for my maiden voyage. But how do I empty the carts of the cleaning fluid? Not really a cleaning fluid in the strict sense, it's the Carbon6b base fluid, tinted with red dye so I can see nozzle checks... which I've been running periodically while I bought a scale and figured out mixing the Carbon-6. I don't want residual tinted base fluid to mix with my Carbon-6 inks.

Thank you!

Paul W.
