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.com The 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: http://www.polyphoto.com/tutorials/bulkinksystem/ Steve Greenfield --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, Lez <lez.briddon@...> wrote: > > >cis > > I'm interested in this as I cant get an economically priced cis > system, I wont need to rechip to start, but its the > tubes/bottles/vacuum/syringes etc, seems a good idea but a bit of a > build, although once running I suppose its all plain sailing from then > on. > > Will this selfbuild be able to use the original sponge carts or will > it need spongeless >
