    HP 6100 CISS priming the cartridges

    OK, good plan. I will raid my wife's box of tampons! Never thought I would say that... It has become a challenge to get this thing running 100%. I will prevail!

    HP 6100 CISS priming the cartridges

    I tried the suction syringe and it worked at first, but I then had the air reappear in the line. I bought some adapter tips and drew air/ink through the ink ports. This time it worked and the air has not returned. But then the printer would not recognize the cartridges so I removed them...

    HP 6100 CISS priming the cartridges

    I see what you are saying, but the air returns as soon as they are back in place prior to use. Refillable cartridges would be simpler I suppose, but I want to figure this out. A challenge you know. :) I ordered some adapters to be able to use the ink port to draw the ink out, so we will see...

    HP 6100 CISS priming the cartridges

    Well that did not last. Still have air in the lines, except the black. Now no color printing. I did the gravity feed but once the cartridge is back in the air is back in. I also held the cartridge below the reservoir and drew ink through the fill plug with the syringe and while it was...

    Ink waste collection

    I guess I will avoid reusing. Sounds like more trouble than benefit. So what is the best way to recycle the ink then?

    Ink waste collection

    Yes, I was wondering if it can be reused in the black ink. I have a ciss installed So you need to add some black ink to it?

    Ink waste collection

    Has anyone installed a waste ink collection receptacle on their printer? I have an old printer and I was going to experiment on collecting the waste ink from head cleanings, etc. Thankks

    HP 6100 CISS priming the cartridges

    I tried the syringe in the outlet port, but it just would not fit and I was afraid I might break it. I tried the gravity approach and it worked at first, but then after a short time the air bubbles appeared at the junction of the tube and the cartridge again. The funny thing is that the...

    HP 6100 CISS priming the cartridges

    Thank you! I will try the lowering of the cartridges and see what happens. I really appreciate the help. I will report back how it works out.

    HP 6100 CISS priming the cartridges

    I am having difficulty priming the line/cartridges for my HP 6100 CISS. I have tried to pull the ink through with a syringe through the plug and through the the hole where the ink comes out. But the air comes right back in. None of the videos online match the cartridge I use. Do I stick the...
