After sorting yet another problem with my B1100 I'm considering selling my inks, ditching the printer and getting a Ricoh.
CMY have between 450ml & 500ml each
K about's 400ml
Just testing the water but would anyone be interested for £410 delivered or could pickup from me in sunny
Somerset for £400.

I'd check whether you can run sub ink through your Ricoh now that you've had chromablast going through it!

Id guess if you put any cartridge or any ink through the printer, so long as you completely flush it out with possible 1/4 of the ink from all cartridges or 10 - 15 flushes, then you should be okay using a different ink. I manually clean the new Canon printheads at my shop, which involves leaving overnight in cleaning solution, and then flushing it using de-mineralised warm water and leaving it to dry (handed back as good as new). Obviously you cant do this with a printer where the print head cannot be removed, but flushing it using the inks you intend to use later should be okay. Im not an expert though, and the last thing you want to do is do a shirt print on the first installment of a different type of ink...!!

You don't want to do this with a Ricoh! You'd spend more in ink flushing through - you'd be better to just buy a new Rocoh printer.
