Re: should I tint my cleaning fluid?

2011-02-20 by ben

I always tint my cleaning fluid, so I can see when the heads are clean and firing.  I generally take empty OEM cart.s, and modify them by resetting the chip, and drilling two small holes in the top, and installing small tubes.  The cleaning fluid then is injected into one of these tubes.  The other is a vent for air to escape during filling.

There is always enough ink left in the cart to tint the cleaning fluid well, and the cost is nothing for the carts, and tint.
