Off topic: Questions regarding Epson 2200 ink carts

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for the following off topic questions but I do regard them as
somewhat relevant since they are related to making digitally enlarged
negatives.

1) Tonight when I submitted a file to the 2200, a dialog box was displayed
warning me that I have less than 10% ink left in my light black cartridge.
Should I change it now or will the driver stop the printer and prompt me to
replace it when it thinks that the cart is finally empty? Since this is my
first experience using an Epson with chipped carts my knowledge here is very
hazy. Posts on photo.net suggest that the printer will allow you to replace
empty carts in mid print.

2) Does anyone know if MIS Eboni black ink is compatible with transparency
material? In other words will it dry properly adhering to the substrate and
not smear or dust off? I have a fair amount of this ink and would like to
use it in my 2200 and 1280 if possible.

Thanks for your indulgence,

Don Bryant
