Digital BW, The Print

Has anyone come up with a way to change sarts in the R1800 or R2400 
without triggering an ink charge cycle?

Thanks,

Steve Karafyllakis

They don't do a "charge" which is about 1/3 of a cart. They just run
enough to clear the fill tubes and heads. You really do want to do that.

Just the same, if I'm swapping tow carts out of the set to go to a K3 
setup, I'd rather not waste even that amount of ink in the remaining 
six carts. I'rather come up with a two (or three or whatever) QTR flush 
for the exchanged carts-if its possible that is.

OK, once more: call it what you want, I just replaced my NEW M and R 
carts with an LK and LLK, and the thirsty little bloodsucker sucked 
down 1/3 of the cart on the other six carts. So if anyone does come up 
with a viable way to fool these machines, by all means share!

Hi Steve,

I think it may have been Clayton who contributed this method:

- When you're ready to change the carts that are low, bring the 
carriage to the appropriate position

- Replace the necessary carts but don't press the "ink" button

- Wait several minutes for gravity to "prime" the head with ink from 
the new carts

- Turn the printer off and wait a minute or two 

- Now when you turn the printer on again, the unit should assume 
the "ready state" without triggering a "charging cycle"

I couldn't find the original post, so I hope that I have credited and 
quoted it correctly. The method does seem to work just fine...

Hope this helps!

Richard

Thanks, Richard, I'll try that one again, though I do believe I 
tried it a few months backs when I first started using an R1800. I 
don't think Clayton's been able to get it to work for his 2400 
either-his first post was for the 2200. Anybody have any luck with 
this method?
