Re: CIS with 1160

2004-04-16 by Andre

You need to do a re-install with freshly cleaned tube lines. Put the 
lines and arm in a sink full of water and blow/siphon to clear the 
ink. Do not re-install untill you have ascertained that the tube 
lines have fully dried. (very important)

For a clean re-install print this pdf from injketmall. It works for 
the Epson 1160 and Epson 1200.
