Hi,
First excuse my poor english, I'm french.
I have receive my new epson 1400 today and my bulk system for sublimation by sawgrass (rotech system).
I have install the system, the printer begin the initial head charge. I tried to print a screen and nothing on the paper.
The paper is white nothing screening.
What's the mater ?
There is a lot of air in the tubes and I think that ink can not go to the catridges.
Can someone help me ?
Thank you

Run more head cleanings. You need to get the air bubbles out of the lines and fill the print head up with ink before you get the correct colors.

You will also want to make sure that the ink is at the same horizontal level as the print head. If after running a head cleaning, you notice the bubbles start to move back to the bulk feed system... try raising the height of the bulk feed system by a 1/4" inch and see if it happens again. Just be careful not to raise the bulk feed system too high or it will seep out of the print head.

Call the distributor you purchased it from and they should be able to help you out as well. Best wishes.

You cannot have air in the lines.

You should've gotten a little empty bottle with your kit. This is used to suck ink through the lines and clear it of air.

Squeeze the bottle, insert it into the end of the hose/cart that you plug into printer, release the bottle letting it pull ink through the line via suction.

On my C88 there's a little reservoir at the end of the cart, I wait for that to fill up, then put it back in the printer and you should be good to go. If you have any other issues, feel free to post!

P.S.: Your English is quite decent, definately a lot better than my French

Thank but I have tried running more head cleaning and no result. The cartridge of the system are empty now and no ink goes from the reservoir....

You need to prime your system with a syringe.

The problem comes from the printer. I have the same troubles with originals cartridge.
