Bulk Ink System ChromaBlast QuickConnect Setup for the WF30/T30/B40W

Check to ensure that you have all of the components necessary to setup your QuickConnect system:

• Bulk Ink Dampers & Tubes

• Plastic Arm with Velcro Adhesive

• 4 Plastic Syringes for Priming

• 3 Plastic Dividers

• ChromaBlast Driver CD

• ChromaBlast QuickConnect Box

• ChromaBlast Ink bags (not included with QuickConnect system)

• EPSON WF30/T30/B40W Printer

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 the syringe or 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 completely inserted into the syringe.

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 inkdelivery 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 WF30/T30/

B40W Printer User’s Guide for instructions on installation.

Sawgrass Technologies, Inc. ~ www.sawgrassink.com

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 four channels.

Note: You may have to take the syringe out, lower the plunger and reinsert it into the damper in order to completely prime the damper cartridges.

Once the ink bags have been connected, your ChromaBlast QuickConnect

Bulk Ink System should look like the graphic above.
