The guy at ColorBAT go so sick of the noisy few who could not get a
prebuilt CIS to work, he stopped selling them. However, he has
instructional PDFs on his website:
http://www.colorbat.comThe pages load -very- slowly.
The most important thing is ink level, and an air bubble in the damper
(that's what the "cartridge with a hose in it" is called in a CIS). A
cartridge with a flexible thin plastic sheet side may get away without
an air bubble, but it's better with it.
Here, I'm never going to make money on this da∗∗ thing, there are too
many cut-rate bulk ink systems out there. No one wants to pay for
reliability, they'd rather replace a $50 system every year:
