Bulk Unit Refill Process Photos by Don Ford

 

For those who use a bulk unit (and it's a great tool to use if you don't yet use one as it greatly reduces your cost per print). There are many ways that you can do this, but here is a simple, mostly non-messy way.

Use the bottles that your inks come with or a set with an easy dispensable cap like shown here.

 

 

Fill the bottle with the inks that you are going to fill with.

Pour just enough into the bottle that you will be pouring into the bulk unit bottles unless you have a method of recapping the bottle to protect against evaporation.

If the opening is narrow, you might want to cut some of the lid off to allow the ink to flow more easily into the bulk unit bottles.

Remove the lid from the bottle carefully. It is a good idea to twist the bottle rather than the lid so that the tubing does not get kinked or tangled.

Pour the ink to about 3/4 full.

Make sure that you do not allow the inks to get any lower than approximately 1/4 full. This will insure that you do not lose the vacuum.

 

Reclose the lid, again by twisting the bottle rather than the lid.

Voila! You've refilled your bottles without losing your vacuum on your unit.
