Paul, does it settle in the ink lines or just in the carts? If it is
stable in the lines then you could probably make a vibrating mechanism
that keeps the carts agitated enough to keep it in suspension. Inside
the 9000/9500 there would be plenty of room in the cartridge holder
box to strap a motor with an off balance wheel to cause a vibration
(pager/cell phone vibrator), not sure about the 7000/7500. Would
probably be easy enough to rig up a timer that runs it for 30 minutes
every couple hours and always when the printer is turned on. That
said, when the printer is printing there is a lot back and forth
movement of the inks. This has something to do with the movement of
the tubes as the head moves back and forth. Net change is several ml
of pulsing. Maybe not as much on the 7xxx since the lines are so much
shorter, but very apparent on the 9xxx when you build a bottle system.
