How to purge air from the cartridge should you run the ink bottles empty.

Cartridges can lose ink over time and you can use this method to re-prime them.

 

After removing the cartridges put a piece of tape over the bottom ink port. This will stop any air from entering the cartridge when you are priming it from the top.

Remove the plug near the hose on top of the cartridge. This is where you will re-prime the cartridge.

Insert the tip of the syringe into this hole and pull up on the plunger. Keep doing this until you see 1 mls of ink in the syringe. Then replace the plug. See photo

Install the cartridges back into the printer and do a cleaning then a nozzle check to see if all the nozzles are working.
After doing three cleanings the nozzle check was perfect.

Never do more then three cleaning at a time. Let it sit for about 2 or 3 hours then you can clean again.

Our Purge hose and syringe set is used to prime the printhead should the printhead run empty.
