An improment to sponged CIS

2005-01-24 by Nick H. Nugent

Hi folks,

Earlier I posted an experiment to a reduced sponge CIS system but I 
found after some testing that though it worked great, with reduced 
sponge I experienced a lack of damping needed when the printer 
starts from a period of idle.

This has prompted me to move on to another experiment which allows 
me to use my existing CIS such as though purchased from MIS but with 
a small modification: an addition of a second set of fittings both 
for initial filling and cartridge reconditioning (ie. foam removal). 
The great thing about this mod is you can be certain that the 
initial fill of the CIS is optimal even when the vacuum fill method 
fails, and foam removal can be accomplished without cartridge 
removal.

You can find my method demonstrated at http://www.rgb-scale.com/CIS/

I hope you find it useful,
--nick
