The Bulk Ink System
The T-Jet Blazer printers use a specially designed Bulk Ink System with cartridges that hold about 200 ml
of ink per color (x8) and allow for easy re-lling as needed. In order to prevent damage or ink leakage,
your printer was not shipped with the Bulk System installed. To prevent components from drying out, it is
shipped with cleaning cartridges. You will need to remove these prior to use because these cartridges do
NOT contain textile ink.
To remove the cleaning cartridges, locate the
blue levers to the right side of each bank of
four. Moving these levers to the UP position
will release the cartridges. With the lever in the
DOWN position, cartridges will be locked in
place.
Move both levers to the UP position and remove
the cleaning cartridges. Store them in a cool, dark
environment for future use.
Filling the Bulk Ink Cartridges
During initial setup, and whenever your ink cartridges begin to run low, you will have to ll them
manually. Choose an area where spills will not do much damage and protect the area with newspaper,
paper towels or a drop cloth. It is recommended that you also wear disposable gloves.
Your printer comes with 8 oz. (250 ml) bottles of
Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow and Black FastINK3, along with 1 liter of FastINK White.
You will also nd 8 continuous ow ink cartridges and 8 funnels.
One cartridge will be used for each of the 4 colors and 4 cartridges
will be dedicated for White.
1. Fill a cartridge with ink.
NOTE: We recommend starting with the lightest color and
ending with the darkest. For this example we will start with
yellow. To ll a cartridge, refer to the color coding on the
cartridge for the correct ink to add.
Remove the cap and place the funnel into the top opening.
•
When pouring the ink, lift the funnel out of the hole slightly,
to allow air to escape and facilitate a smooth ow.
The Bulk System that shipped with your printer may or may not look
like the one shown here.
