Thank's a bunch, you save me a lot of time and effort with this guide, its a good thing people like you post guides like this the damn seller was asking me to buy new cartridge to fix then problem and bring it to his shop and he is gonna charge me 10 dollars for it
Thank you so much for the video! I finally solved my problem. I use syringe at first, the ink flows a bit and fill up the air trapped in the hose but not until the cartridge. Then I use air pump (for inflatable toys) to push more the ink from the printhead and it works! The ink flows forward and it doesn't return and finally completely fill up the hose.
Sorry but it needs the clamps to do this - if you put tape round them it may damage the heads, also if you leave in the printer it wont work as its not an airtight seal shane
it wont work whilst they are in the printer it must have the black clamps over the cartridges- and be totally sealed - if you keep doing it without the clamps it will just damage the travel plug on top shane
Hello. Any tips on what to do if after doing this step the ink won't come out of the cartridge? I was able to make the ink flow but I probably did something wrong because no ink came out when I tried to print.
If I have them in the printer I only need to put in the plugs correct? I don;t need to put the tape or cover back on the cart. I;m having so much trouble with my canon mp287. Your video is very good.
Thanks. What's the ml of black pigment cartridges, by the way? I highly recommend creating a custom tower for the ink, such that the holes in the cartridge where the ink flows in, is the same height as the exit holes in the ink tanks (w/ a digital caliper) coz' it use the principle called Mariotte's Bottle/Siphon and the small rubber gaskets (where you plug in the ends of the tubes, a little on the top of the tube itself) and stuff are sealed (one can use silicone grease but just at the edges), block also the air intake on the top of the cartridge (it's that pattern on top of the cartridges if you remove the sticker). God bless.
@@cityinkexpress-online That's a nice looking ink tank, what's the brand? Also how can you do that with the regular ink tank (it does not have an access hole for the syringe needed. By the way why can't CISS just function like water tank and put the ink tank way above the printer? why does it need two chambers for each color? God bless.
