Hi all

I've just swapped from an Epson D120 to an Epson S21 and want to transfer the ink from the one CISS to the other.

Using syringes I've managed to get most of the ink out from the 100ml reservoirs but there is still some in the cartridges.

Any advice on the safest way of retrieving this last amount of ink and then flushing it through to clean it? I don't want to ruin the CISS as I may need it in the future.

Thanks in advance
Barry

Take the little bung out of the top and put the syringe needle into the cartridge and suck.....Also there might be one in the bottom of the cartridge also that you can take out.Another way although might be messy is to take top bungs out and put the syringe without the needle over one of the holes and push air into the cartridge but make sure you have something in place to collect the expelled ink. I favour the first approach.....
