 That was the reason for suggesting IV bags. However, one can simply
use rinsed out 3000/7000/9000 carts reloaded with whatever ink you
choose. The tubing then has a damper on one end and a needle for the
cart on the other. Solves all of the air and ink height problems. Set
the carts beside the machine with tape or a big rubber band around
them and you're in business.
 Why work hard to invent something different when the system the wide
formats use works just fine and can be duplicated easily.
 Also, no one can sue you for using Epson parts you own in any way you
see fit privately. They can't patent tubing,needles and glue or go
after the sale of chip reset devices either.
 Another method could use the filters you talked about some time ago
inline with the tubing and add a 'T' stub to the tubing near the head
inlet to give an empty chamber for damping. That would do away with
expensive dampers as well.
