Id like to switch resins in my printer and have no interest in running black anymore. Can I reuse the resin tank for tough?

Yes.

Just clean the tank out and the machine will prompt you to accept switching.

You probably don’t want to use IPA to clean the tank. Just dump the resin back into the cartridge and wipe it out with a lint free cloth. A small amount of resin left over in the corners or as streaks won’t effect the prints.
