I'm planning to try the MIS Eboni-6 inks in my Epson 1430 based on a paper by Paul Roark.  In the paper, he says:

Note that flushing the printer is required before switching from an UltraChrome inkset to Eboni-6. This is particularly important with wide format printers that have tubes between the carts and the heads.9 Eboni-6 and UltraChrome inks should also not mix on the parking pads. As such, rinse them before installing and do not have UltraChrome inks in the same printer as Eboni-6.


Does the native 1430 inkset also require flushing?

Thanks!

No.

The Claria and Eboni-6 inks appear to be compatible.  I've had
Noritsu/Claria black ink in the 1400 at the same time as Eboni-6 inks.

Of course, you can't go wrong flushing a printer (aside from the cost), but
the real issue highlighted by MIS was that the Eboni-6 dilution base is not
compatible with the Epson UltraChrome pigments.  This is not an issue for
the 1400, but that PDF was written to be of value for all Eboni-6 users,
not just the 1400.

John:

I switch between Claria color, MIS color, UT14 and Carbon-6 pretty frequently in my 1400. The printer runs through a long head cleaning each time you park the heads to do a change and that is all that is needed. Run a nozzle test to be sure the new set is OK and you are G2G. I posted some notes on this on my blog in the tools section. remononaz.blogspot.com

Paul -

Thanks!  One less think for me to worry about.
