Before introducing Lyson Quad Black or Small Gamut inks into a printer for the first time, it is recommend that Lyson cleaning cartridges are used first. This serves two purposes. Firstly, the cleaning cartridges will remove any trace of the original ink from the system so that, when you start using Quad Black or Small Gamut, you know that you are producing fade resistant prints immediately. Secondly, the cleaning cartridges stop any cross contamination occurring between the two ink products and so alleviate any possible head blocking problems. Cleaning cartridges contain a harmless clear fluid and are extremely simple to use with instructions included in every box. They are also an extremely useful service aid, regardless of the ink used, as their use from time to time will clean the printers head mechanism and help maintain the best print quality.
