Re: how to clear ink tubes ? Was 1160 black blocked

2003-10-05 by frankg_photo

to pass a wire through a tube i'd have to remove or cut it off at the 
cfs cart - how do you get it back on ? By dipping the end in hot 
water to soften it ?
Any precautions to take or issues with air in the lines/carts?
