RE: [Digital BW] Waste ink tube diameter

2012-03-08 by Globe Trotteur

For my 2200, i bought a kit from octojet.co.uk. I highly recommend it. Very professional design. It came with a plastic fitting to go from the printer to the waste tank.I have been using it for more than a year now and it works flawessly.Pierre

      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.
