I really hope I've been clear and that you recognise my problem somehow! Lastly, I would like to thank you for reading all the way down to the bottom of this post. Is this a common problem with these kind of printers/bulk systems? I cleaned them and roughened them already, but the only thing that seems to work is to stick a piece of paper in the holder, together with the cartridge, to force it against the connectors. It seems like the little copper connectors don't make good contact. Still, the prints are good, except for the fact that LM doesn't print.Ĭould I have accidentaly squeezed the LM hose when I opened and closed the bulk system? Is that the reason why it was hard to flush?Īlso, I noticed that the cartidge is hard to place in the printhead without it coming up with an error. I also still have a lot of air in the yellow and LM hoses, and probably in the other hoses as well (i can't tell because they're dark). All colours show up perfectly, except for LM, which doesn't show at all. So I cleaned that up.Īfter all of this, suddenly prints started to come out right. Also, the next print would show all colours in magenta. I also applied airpressure with the cartridge in the printhead, but this caused a puddle of magenta coloured ink on the bottom of the cartridge. It almost seems like the hose is blocked somehow. Also, the hose on top of the yellow cannister started to overflow, when i kept the pressure on the LM. I had to use considerably more airpressure to get it going, but even then it really didn't fill up the cartridge. I noticed the LM color would NOT easily flush. This way i could flush the air bubbles out (or so i thought) This actually worked, but when i replaced the cartridge (whereby the valves ar also opened), bubbles were seeping back into the hoses. For this to work i had to open the valve on the bottom of the cartridge with a nail. This gave me the idea to put airpressure on the top of the cannisters, to push the ink through. (I thought the hoses on top of the cannisters did). I also noticed that there are hoses connected to the bottom of each color cannisters, which lead to the printhead. I did notice however, that there's a seventh cannister, where all the tubes go to.
I've tried to open the bulk system to see what's going on, but couldn't really reach into it. This got me the LC back, but no other colours would print.
I tried to push windex through the LM and LC printheads with a seringe (very carefully). Basically everytime i removed the cartridge and replace it, i get different results. The results of my attempts do point in a certain direction. Ok, I've tried some different methods, with limited succes.
