Here is how to install a pre-filled wide format CFS Cartridge.
|
| |
| Follow this procedure for each cartridge: |
| |
| 1. |
Clean the inside of the 500 ml bottles. Make sure the cap has a small hole
in it. It should be in the Nalgene logo. Load the 500 ml bottles with ink, to the point
where the bottle starts to curve. Put the top on the bottle. Label either the top of the
bottle or the sides with the type of ink you have put into it. |
| |
| 2. |
Find the resting place for the bottles. The ink level in the full bottle should be between
2 to 6 inches lower than the print head on the printer for 3000, 5000, 7000, 7500
printers. For 9000 and 9500 printers, keep the bottom of the ink bottle 12 inches
above the floor. You can use a box or tray to keep the ink bottles organized
and prevent them from tipping over accidentally. |
| |
| 3. |
Trim the tube length for a neat tube path that does not have a lot of extra slack in it. Trim
the end of the tube on a 45 degree angle. Mark the tube with a felt tip marker, 5 inches from
the end of the tube.
Make sure you have cut off the portion of the tube that was being pinched by the blue
clamps. Always cut tubes on a 45 degree angle.
Insert the tube into the hole on the side of the bottle until the mark you made on the tube
disappears into the bottle. Don't go in past this point. |
| |
| 4. |
With the printer power on, remove the old cartridges and insert the new CFS cartridges.
Make sure the right color cart is in the right slot.
|
| |
| 5. |
If you are changing ink types or colors, you will have to purge the printer
of the old inks. See our website Archival-Purging
or Quadtone-Purging page for instructions.
Otherwise, you are ready to begin printing. |
| |
| 6. |
When you print, you will see ink slowly climb the tube and head towards the cartridge. It
will take quite a while for this to happen. Don't worry about it, just print as you normally
would. To fill the tubes it takes about 4 ml of ink or 4 square feet of printout per color.
