I am about to start using image specialist inks in my canon pro9000 instead of OEM and already have set of flushed OEM cartridges for all colors except red and green.
Now the green and red cards in the printer are almost 100% full (unsurprisingly), the black is almost empty and the rest are a bit above 50%.
Now I have to chose a strategy.
1) Be pedantic. Throw away the expensive OEM inks from the cards in the printer and refill all eight cartridges.
2) Be greedy. Refill only black and continue printing. When the next color ends, refill all other cards except the 100% full red and green. Continue printing for another year or so until red or green ends and them refill them too.
Does mixing inks like this sound like a good idea? I mean won't such mixing OEM+IS result in noticeably more significant color shift related to OEM than using purely IS inks?
