I would suggest putting in the extra dampers and use some form of fluid 
or else you will burn out the heads. It will also cause problems when 
the printer does a head cleaning because there will be an easy path for 
the pump to suck a less viscous fluid (air), so it will not pull the 
ink through properly. I think the 3000 dampers might be best, though 
I'm not entirely sure because I haven't seen how the ink carts go in 
that printer. If it is like most of the desktop printers, the 3000 
dampers should work. Also dampers from the 5000, 5500, 
7000/7500/9000/9500 should work too.
