How are you guys with DX4 dampers (in the ink bay) connecting to ink bags?

I'm using the kent bags with blue connectors. The ID is smaller.

Thanks

I finally have all my parts for the "damper" conversion, I'll be making the mods this weekend.

For me, it's just about the convenience of swapping out dampers when they fail.

I've had to open the damper assembly way too much lately. Not sure exactly why I've been having issues, but this will save time troubleshooting for sure.

Are your cart chip reading full? I believe that's what controls the ability to do an ink charge.

What do you do with the 3 pin black PK/MK switch. I have connected the 2 red cables together, this works but doesn't allow me to do an ink charge. Is it possible, what happens if I connect the black also?

Thanks for the DX7 damper links, I purchased from 2 different vendors and both cause my printhead to leak.

Also, I can't see the images in your post?

I don't have any problems with the dampers, they fit quite good, but they don't look like yours.
These are the dampers in the printhead: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-...32733939287.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.DQGXUz
And these are the dampers replacing the ink cartridges: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10p...32704168752.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.SChzXH
