Default Cartridge based printers?

We most likely will get the Ricoh GX7000.

A couple questions:

This uses the gel ink, does the printer have a priming function for each color?

Does the printer give you any warning on low ink?

If a color runs out, how big a problem is it to change the cartridge and refill the line to the print head?

Thanks,
Doc

It will automatically prime all the colors. I think it's like 15% of the ink to fill the lines.

Yes, you will get a warning onscreen. There is also a readout on the printer showing ink levels on each cartridge.

When a color is empty, pop out the old cartridge and put the new one in. On any inkjet/gel printer the lines never get emptied. It will stiop and say out of ink right before that point.
