Flushing 3rd party ink out on my system

[autoexebat]

Since I now have the cyan overspray I have concluded my heard is bad , I refuse to put any 3rd party inks in my new head ( once I replace it ) So how do I go about getting rid of all the ink from my system so I can start fresh with new Roland OEM inks ?

I usually do a head wash - either from the control panel or manually with a syringe. You'll need cleaning cartridges and foam dummy cartridges to do this. Then after you get cleaning fluid coming through all channels, replace the head and dampers, then ink up with the OEM inks.

Good Luck

Sounds like a nightmare , What if I just start using OEM now and change the head in a month ? that way the new ink will be through the system ?

May cause you more problems, those inks may not be compatible and cause way more damage!

A head wash like Joe House mentioned is the only way to be 100% sure. If you don't, any time you have issues you will wonder, should I have flushed?

Unfortunately I haven't done it on that model but it should be in the tech manual. I might have it in my collection. I'll take a look and let you know. Thanks!
