SC545 with bulk ink - wall mount?

[intensegraphics]

I bought my used Roland a couple of years ago. It came with a bulk ink system using Triangle Inks. Due to space issues, I am wondering if anyone knows if the tanks can be mounted on the wall instead of the end of the machine?

TIA!

Michelle, how about posting a couple of pictures of your current setup, as well as where you want to re-mount

The tanks need to be at at the same level as they are on the machine. I've never seen a wall mount for the tanks.

I am attaching a couple of pictures. Sorry they aren't the greatest since they are off of my phone.

My machine came all set up so I was curious about if they needed to be at a certain level.

I have issues once in a while with the color dropping out on me, and after going over everything else a tech suggested it may have something to do with the bulk system.

I am in a very confined area and have to swing one end of the printer out to get behind it to load the media. I thought it possibly could be jostling the tanks enough to cause some sort of issue. Hence the thought of wall mounting them.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Michelle

Same bulk system / ink as I have- but mounted on the other end of
the printer- would that help? Gene

+1 Gene! The lines are running a long ways to get to the cartridges. Good chance of air getting into the lines.

I must admit, I am a little confused. I will add a picture of the rear of the machine.

The lines wouldn't even reach from the other end of the machine.

Sorry for the confusion. Excellent picture! It is worth a thousand words. I would NOT mount on the wall. However, you might want to consider mounting the BULK INK on the black space ABOVE the ink cartridges. Upon further review, I think NOT. Space considerations as they are, I would leave well enough alone

You can ditch that bulk system altogether and use refillable cartridges, won't cost you nomore then 100 bucks

I might be interested in trying this. Any suggestions on where to buy the cartridges?

I will send you a pm with all the info once I get back to my office.
