Yes, that is one of the unique thing about this inkset. You can switch
from the neutral, carbon sepia, and split tone set without having to
clean out the system. You use the exact same workflow and QTR curves
because each dilution is the same regardless of hue set. So you only
need one set of curves for all the hue sets. 

As for purging, the same goes for putting them in right behind
Ultrachrome, no flushing fluid needed. You just do a couple of head
cleanings or print out a grey scale flush image that they have available.

The only reason that I am using several large printers is so I can do
multiple hue toned jobs simultaneously for different clients. Also if
one of my machines breaks down all I have to do is move the inks over
to another and the curves are already to go. This is not a bad thing
to do with the 6 channel machines I have around here. It is giving
them a whole new purpose in life.
