Caution When changing ink colors, if you change the print- head and reservoir without changing the existing ink tube, ink from the reservoir will mix with the differ- ent ink in the ink tube, producing a third color. When you change ink colors, you must replace the existing printhead, tube, and reservoir with the printhead, tube, and reservoir containing the new ink color.

The printer will display an error if you install a print- head and/or reservoir in the wrong position for the selected ink set, but it cannot detect whether the ink tube does not match the other components.

Since inks of different dilutions are very difficult to visually discern in the ink tubes, be sure to label all components and replace them one color at a time, as described in “Replacing Ink System Components” on page 3-17.
