Next step, make the entrance hole for tubing.

Make sure the tube has enough length to reach the edge of head position, cut it if necessary

Fill some ink just to make sure that we put correct colour to rhe catridge, place the knee connector

Place every knee connector to its place, responding to its color, full fill the ink tank now, put on a higher place and let the ink flow to the cartridge

Pull of the tip, to release the air inside the cartridge and let the ink flow inside, let them fill slowly, you can stop when it reach at least a half.

When you've done tied them, move the print head to left and right, mamke sure everything work fine
