3.2 Ink supply tube replacement
Ink tubes can be replaced if ink has dried within the tubes. This is best noticeable when the machine is
flushed. We always recommend flushing the printer of all fluid before we remove the tubes. Leaving ink or
cleaning solution in the tubes while they are being removed can spill ink into the printer or onto the electronic
components of the printer which will damage the boards. If tubes are clogged and ink cannot be removed we
can move forward with extra care. During these steps we will also be replacing all dampers and all the tubing
in the carriage. It is always recommended you replace all dampers and valves when replacing the ink tube
system.
