4.1.4 Ink Line Priming
To ensure the system continues to work properly, the inkline between the regulators and
the ink pens should be primed if more than 4” of air in the tube is visible between the
regulator and the head.
1.
Hold up the inkline that connects the regulators to the ink pens and tap
each inkline gently to allow the air bubbles to rise up from the ink pens.
2.
Disconnect the ink pens from the regulator.
3.
Connect the priming tool (the syringe tool) to the regulator’s quick
disconnect connector.
4.
Hold the syringe higher than the tubing (
into the syringe. Be sure to do this slowly and watch for air bubbles in
the syringe.
5.
Once the bubbling has stopped, disconnect the syringe and reconnect
the regulator back to the ink pens.
