Re: [Digital BW] Waste ink tube diameter

Not only that, but using a barb fitting to splice them could create the same flow restriction or allow a clog.  A little silicon around the "tubing over tubing" should seal it.

AS to siphoning ink, I cannot see where that would happen if it is not happening now.

One thought though: make sure your receptacle is vented.  This is a gravity flow system--not a pump.
