Epson C120/C110 Bulk Ink System Installation Instructions

Before you Begin

It is crucial that the OEM ink supplied with your printer is installed before you attempt to install your ChromaBlast inks. This allows for two things: First, it primes the ink delivery system, ensuring that the ChromaBlast ink will load more easily. Second, it familiarizes you with the basic operation of your printer. Please see the EPSON Stylus C120/C110 Printer User’s Guide for instructions on installation and printing a nozzle check.

Please read this document thoroughly before installing

the system to prevent voiding your warranty.

Quick Connect Bulk Ink System Setup Instructions

► ►

1. Remove the soft protective cap from each ink bag. Depress the metal tab on the inside of the Quick Connect box and insert the plastic ink valve into place. Release the metal tab to lock the bag into place. Insert the black plastic dividers to separate between the four ink bags. Note— There are 5 (five) bulk ink dampers,

but only 4 ink bags. Two dampers are supplied by the Black ink bag. The Black ink bag has a “Y” tube splitter that fills both black ink dampers.

2. Set the bulk ink dampers face down on a flat surface with the round openings facing up. Pierce the thin plastic tab that covers the opening using the tip of a sharp object such as a ball point pen. Firmly insert the tip of the plastic syringe into the gasketed opening until the tip is completed inserted.

Note -The plunger needs to be pushed in and completely inserted into the syringe.

3. Slowly extract the plunger. Ink will start to flow through the tubing into the damper. Continue extracting the plunger until ink begins to flow into the tip of the syringe.

Note: You may have to repeat this process twice to complete the priming of each ink damper.

Repeat this process for the other three ink bags.

Once the ink bags have been connected your Quick Connect bulk ink system should look like the graphic on the left.

7. Firmly push down the plastic Cartridge set of dampers to completely engage the ink dampers into place.

Note: You will have to push each individual damper hinge into position until it clicks into place (see arrow). The printer will not ‘recognize’ the ink damper until it is firmly pushed into place.

8. Install the plastic support arm. First remove the adhesive backing on the back of the plastic arm.

9. The plastic tubing comes pre-attached to the plastic arm with two adhesive bands. Position the plastic arm on the far upper right side of the printer.

10. The plastic arm should be aligned so that the edge of the adhesive Velcro is situated at the upper top right hand corner of the ink cartridge bay. Press the plastic arm firmly to set the adhesive Velcro in place.

Tips:

• Perform a nozzle check from the Epson driver utility — A few cleanings may be necessary to prime

the system.

• You may have a little air in your lines but this will clear after a few prints.

• Do not raise the ink box higher than the printer.

• Read the documentation on installing and using your ChromaBlast C120 or C110 Driver.

11. Press printer ink button ( second button on the left side of the printer). The printer will start to prime and reset itself. The ink cartridge carriage will move in position.

12. Congratulations. You have installed your Epson C120/C110 Quick Connect bulk ink system. You are now ready to install the ChromaBlast C120 or C110 driver.
