How to Change Ink Filters

Introduction
Each ink color has a filter that removes any particulate matter from the ink as it is
pumped from the ink bag toward the printheads. The ink filters are located at the
electronics end of the printer around the corner from the ink bags.
When to do
The ink filter for each color of ink must be replaced after 11 bags (22 liters) of that
ink have been consumed. If an ink filter becomes clogged, it will trap color pigment
and affect the color balance of printed images so it is important to change a filter
before this occurs.
If the Nozzle Check image prints one color weaker than normal, this is an indication
that the ink filter for the affected color is clogged and the filter must be replaced.
Note: Air can accumulate in the ink filter when an ink bag that contains a small
amount of air is drained. Also new filters will contain air that must be released. You
can prevent an overflow of ink into the 0.2 micron filters associated with the purge
valves in the top of the carriage by bleeding any trapped air out of the ink filters.
