Replacing tubes on a CIS/CFS
2004-12-28 by Andre
Happy New Year to all. He had an original Nomocarts CIS system from 4 years ago, installed on an Epson 1160 printer. The tubes needed replacing. As Linda suggested on this list, I ordered tubes, cartridges and switch activators (cfc-1160-e, mis-swtact) from MIS. I kept the plastic arm and bottle caps from the old system. Total cost: $35.10 The conversion was rather easy and simple. I used the vacuum filled method. After installation I had one ink position whose nozzle check was not perfect after repeated cleaning. A visual check showed that the tubing for this ink did rise up before making a turn into the bottle and that the tube end in the bottle was not cut at an angle, like I had the other ends. After fixing this, nozzle checks are perfect again. Andre
