Ok, i have just bought a new 1500W with ciss off a company on ebay. I have asked the question but awaiting a reply. There are no instructions on how to fit the ciss. This company have a video on youtube of a different setup on this printer but only the basics. Ibe got these bits left over....

Im also getting big air bubbles / blocks working their way back up the line from the carts. Whys this?

Also, when the ink cart holder (apologies, Im unsure what its actual name is) is all the way to the left I think there is too much slack in the lines as it catches on its way back to the right. Problem is, at that length the plastic bracket piece holding the lines up gets pulled down slightly. If I loosen it a touch the lines get caught up as the cart carrier passes back. There doesnt seem to be a happy medium.

Any help is really appreciated

did you prime the carts before you installed them ? if not = air locks in lines

you not done it right bud..you need to re-do priming...if done right, NO air should be in tubes ;)
also check hoses for small pin holes...these can be a right PITA, and make sure connections are nice n snug
