Hello aaa:

One posting #131 you mentioned tuning the caps from Inktec, are these ink bottles or CISS bottles? I tried looking at the Inktec site and couldn't find a CISS listed there.

On post #139 you showed several syringes arranged in a row, did you make this or is it a commercial setup.

Thank you.
Joe

PS: I'm learning a lot from your postings, thanks for all the work you are doing.

Hello, JoeG_6112!

I made CISS bottles from standard InkTec 100 ml ink bottles.
Yes, I make several syringes, arranged in a row. Will be continued... :)

Professionals say that the connection C3 is better than C2.
Do you know about the capsules? Professionals say that the capsules are better then C2, C3.

Capsule with two cameras (chamber) is better:

As far as I understand - noone knows why and the only plausable explanation is that they have bigger volume (i.e. one large camera will do the same job).

I believe you mean "chamber", not "camera". Wrong language. :)

And it's an air gap.

This is the shelf for ink tanks. Made from one CD box. Lack of strong construction.
