Digital BW, The Print

I have been working on the Epson 7000 CIS for a few days now and have 
developed what I think is the final prototype. It is a hybrid cross 
between the MIS and BIS designs.

So far, I am not getting any air infiltration, but this thing really 
need to cook for 2-3 weeks before I proclain it a success.

Here is what I did differently,

1. Increased tubing sixe from 1/16" I.D. in the MIS stsem to 3/16" 
I.D.

2. Removed the "shock tube" design and instituted a "straight 
through" path. 

3. Added small stainless steel hose clamps to secure the tubing to 
the cartridge nib after sealing connection with clear silicone 
sealant to provide additional insurance against air infiltration.

If anyone wants to see pictures, email me and I will forward them to 
you.

Hi Mike
I'd love to see the photos- got my 7000 last week, and need to figure out
how I'm going to set it up!

Thanks

Bill,

Attached the the images.

I think that the best solution for the 7000 is to use 9000 cartridges. MIS is now selling them with their inks loaded in them. The CIS for the 7000 has been a pain in the butt. I am not ready to give up just yet as I know we can perfect this thing. I use the tupperware container as insurance against accidental ink spillage. The bottles are 500ml nalgene plastic.
