Default New tubing lines

Anybody know the best place to go to buy new hosing for the T3. I removed them all (white and cmyk) and soaked them in warm water and blew them clean, but for the inexpensiveness of the tubing would rather just buy new lines and cut them to size.

Any idea on where to buy them?? Maybe even just buy a spool of it and regularly replace them as part of good maintenance.

I had purchased some from US Screen about four months ago, but you have to call them since they dont advertise them as being sold separtly. I bought them for my T-Jet 2's and they were already cut to size. I belive I paid ten bucks for each.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'll check at Lowes tomorrow- They have tons of different sized small clear tubing. What about air line tubing you use with fist tanks??? Do you think re-doing the bulk ink system with wider tubing would help with ink starvation? Make the ink flow better perhaps???

I actually use to get my tubing from a pet store like PetSsmart it is the same tubing I believe they use for fish tank tubing to run the pump. Hope that helps

I tried Lowe's they do have alot of sizes in stock but none that small. Pet supply store same thing, to big. I also tried 2 other businesses in the area to no avail.

Anybody......?? I'll search online see what I can come up with.

I had seen some on inksupply.com but I wasn't sure about the tube size & wasn't willing to risk it. This is the page I saw them on.
