CISS on HP F4480

hi guys, this is my CISS setup for my F4480. by trial and error i found that the best position for the tubing. from the cartridge tubing must be placed slightly higher than using tube clip at the front of the color cart, to prevent hose from dragging and obstructing movement. other part of hose must be placed directly above not hanging.(note: in this video i didn't my tube clipping yet because it lost its stickiness, will buy double sided tape later.
With this type of ciss the ink container has two chambers, the chamber with air inlet must have low level of ink than of the other chamber to provide pressure so ink doesn't leak in cartridge.(should have known that before i started). try with 1/4 ink first, then just add later.
I bought this kit for 380Php 100ml UVink costs 50Php each
HP60 blackL and color 1480Php

hope this helps

for those with these problems here's a trick I've found here's a trick if my hp60 displays incompatible or used cartridge. first print the file you want to print now your get a small printer icon on the bottom right. then hold the on/off button then cancel button hold for 6-10sec then release, this will print diagnostic page. after it will print your file. sometimes you would need to press cancel button after diagnostic page. by the way i have hp f4480 but you really need to replace the hp60.

Update: my printer broke, it doesn't feed the paper properly. the problem was a piece of plastic broke, the part of the mechanism that feeds the paper, it happened when i had a paper jam.

good thing i had an old printer which had the same part so i just switched it. and also i had cartridge problem like used cartridge and incompatible cartridge. I've tried cleaning the contact but doesn't work. i think this happens if you use the cartridge too long.

try this press and hold power button then press x wait 5sec then release will print test page

i used super glue on the cartridge for the clip, its more secure, the double sided tape didnt work that well

my cartridge is new i dont have to put ink in it, but i first put ink in the reservoir making sure the hose is locked or raised. when all reservoir is filled. i slowly lower the hose so that the ink will run to the end of the hose. before i stick the the end of the hose(part where there is a needle) in the cartridge.

the cover is slightly ajar, but i guess you could modify the lid but it will damage it.

how will you disable empty ink warning in the led monitor of your printer?

[avielknot]
