Re: [Digital BW] syringe maint.

Bruce.. You "MAY" be due for a new one.. However what I have done that seems to work quite well is to remove the plunger, spray some silicone spray lubricant on a paper towel, and wipe the rubber seal with the paper towel ( a little goes a LONG way)..Re-insert the plunger and slide it in an out and you should notice a great improvement..

Years ago, I bought a 60ml syringe from somewhere - MediaStreet maybe? It's purpose is to load ink carts. When I started using PiezoTones with my 7600, you could only buy the inks in 4oz bottles so I had to fill my own carts. The more I use it, the harder it gets. It's like the rubber seals on the plunger need to be lubricated. Is there any lubricant I can use that will help the plunger slide easier, maintain the seal, and not contaminate the ink? Secondary syringe question - anyone know where I can find a smaller syringe - say 5ml? I want it to measures some darkroom chemistry when I mix stuff for one-shot use. -- Bruce Watson Please visit the Group Homepage to check the Files, and other resources as they are often being updated. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint If you wish to receive no emails or just a daily digest, or you wish to unsubscribe, please edit your Membership preferences by visiting this same page.
