At what point is the i-image ST M tank "Low"

[ffokazak]

When the light starts flashing for low, how many ml of ink are left in the tank roughly?

DON"T TOUCH THAT DIAL!   

You don't want to test it.  Trust me.   IF, you hit print...after you get the message of M-Tank low,....(it's really low).
You stand the chance of running the pump dry. If you run the pump dry. You have to sit on the side (in an uncomfortable spot) for like 30 min. Pulling on a syringe to draw the ink through the lines of the main tank...back up into the pump.  Time consuming...and inky.

Don't be fooled by the 200-250ml in the bottom of the tank. That is there to help keep the tank and pump primed.  There is a tube that runs down near the bottom of the tank (just above the bottom) so that it does not suck up any sediment. That tube, must be full covered well, with the remaining amount of ink left in the tank (what most all think is plenty to do the next job of 2-4 screens.....is not.

Hm, sounds like a guy with a little experience! Dan is correct. Don't try and make any more screens until you have added ink.

There is roughly 200ml left in the tank when low comes on. Usually we tell people to just add another liter when low comes on (you obviously need to have a liter on hand). Do not fill past the 2L mark on the bottle.

I've had to prime the pump one time after the customer just kept on printing when the light came on and he ran it out, but I've also walked in just in on people at the nick of time when they were printing when the M-tank low just started and they kept printing.  That first experience made me cringe every time after when I see that M tank low notice. LOL.  Just keep an eye on your tank every week. Do your weekly maintenance and everyone will he happy.

Read, and actually live by the maintenance schedule.
