Re: CIS with 1160

2004-04-17 by Mark Hahn

as long as your seals are good all you have to do is get the carts 
and tubes full of ink.  The easiest way to do this is just to use a 
syringe to pull ink up the tubes and then into the carts.  Then when 
everything is filled up you have to pump enough air back into the 
cart to make it roughly half full (you need the air space otherwise 
you'll get sputtering).  Install the cart and it will work.  I've 
done this numerous times with my CFS system on the 1160.
