Thanks bms and Justin !!!
Hello smitch6

You will use up around 25-40% of the ink from just 2 cartridges as the printer has 2 print heads. One print head is connected by a longer tube that the other so as the printer primes the ink for the first time some ink from 2 of the cartridges has to fill the tubes, hence the levels drop in 2 of the cartridges, but it's not by 80% and not all 4 cartridges. You don't loose the ink, it just comes out of the cartridges and into the tubes, so none is wasted, but the cartridges do drop in levels.

When I first put the subli carts in my 7000, all 4 levels dropped to about equal measures

Martin do bms going on sign&digital with stand this year ??

Comments below related to GXe3300 as that was what the thread was referrring to. The GX7000 also has 2 printheads, but less sure about the lengths of the tubes to each printhead on that printer.

Sorry no, far too busy to have the luxury of time away from the office for a show!
