Digital BW, The Print

These are tiny carts with low volume and no lines to clear, as with  
larger format printers.  My experience has been that you simply  
switch carts and go.  The printer will automatically run a clean  
cycle when you change carts and that is usually sufficient to clear  
the print head.
