This is an poor thing from China. :th

You do not understand the problem. When changing the air temperature and atmospheric pressure, balancing level is also changing.

A good CISS unit will work 100% of the time and its failure is usually down to the installation,
the printer, or the operator (or all Three) that causes the majority of failures.


The particular unit (Pictured) I use has being tried and tested by lots of people including myself
and I found it works perfectly well for quite a number years now so,
whats the problem with it from your point of view..
I have news for you just about all of the CISS Bottles come out of china now Good and Bad.:celebrate

I think this effect is overestimated. Actually I did the math to see how much ink is pushed out from ink tank and only if:
- the ink tank is almost empty and
- the drop in pressure or increase in temperature is big and
- the air tube is thin and
- CISS level is too close to printhead level
the pressure to cartridge will became positive/ink will flow out of CISS through air tube.

@aaa: You didn't mention if the printhead is sealed. Because if it's not then the air presure affects that end of the system too. There are a number of factors to consider beside the atmospheric presure. The system you are describing is in equilibrium and opened in 2 places: ciss tank air tube and printhead nozzle. Both of them are affected by the atmospheric pressure...

If you don't tell anybody, nobody will know.
