Epson R300 CISS Installation Help Please

[brianc]

I have purchased the CISS from SVP and I have read the instructions for installation, but I have a main concern.

http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1171

The onsite instructions and the poor manual that comes with it all show the ink containers full and the tubing full of ink.

How do I fill the tubing full of ink ?

Do I just fill the reservior and let the printer draw the ink through the length of tubing and the ink cartridge ??

I am concerned about that much air being drawn through the print heads.

ALSO

All the manuals show the tubing support brackets fitted to a R200 printer.


I have a R300, where do the brackets go on that model of printer ??

Does any one have some nice pictures showing on fitted to a R300 printer.

Thanks team

answer to first question - when cleaning the head i find best method for removing air from pipes is to lift the ink tanks as high as possible and let gravity remove the air.

i'm not sure about the fixing brackets for the R300 just place them in the best place so that the pipes don't get caught in the printer carridge,
my R200 was easy to set up then i bought a ciss for my epson RX620 this was much harder to fix the pipes i had to take the brackets apart and turn them around and in the end superglued them to the printer as they kept coming off and fouling the printer carridge.

hope this helps
