1. Clamp the tubes at the end
of each line to prevent ink
from entering the line before
you clip on each bag. Then
insert the ink bags into the ink
box by clipping them into the
connectors inside the box.
Refer to the Graphic above for
the correct color configuration
set-up.
1. Turn the printer on and press the cartridge
replacement button. 2. The cartridge bay will shift into the remove position. Remove any installed cartridges.
3. Remove the cartridge cover by gently pushing on the right side and twisting it to the right.
2. Use the priming bottle to prime
each line. To do this, unhook the
clamp at the end of the line and
squeeze the priming bottle to re-
lease all the air then insert it into
the bottom of the cartridge to
prime the line and fill it with ink.
Once ink is in the reservoir, pinch
the clamp at the end of the line.
Do this for each cartridge.

7. Place the large tube holder in the middle of the
gray bar and attach it to the printer. 8. Attach the short tube holder to the right of the printer where the tubes hang down.
9. Congratulations you have successfully installed
a R1800 Quick Connect II ink system.
Tips:
• Make sure you install the SubliJet R1800 IQ and Chromablast R1800 drivers from
the CD’s that came with your Quick Connect II system. Refer to the Hybrid Dual
Decorating System documentation on how to use the software Drivers.
• Perform a nozzle check from SubliJet IQ and Chromablast ™ drivers. A few
cleanings may be necessary to get a good nozzle check.
• You may want to remove the printer lid or leave it open at all times.
• You may have a little air in your lines but this will clear after a few prints.
• Do not raise the ink box higher than the printer.
• If you are not going to use your system for several days, you should clamp the ink
lines with the tube clamps.
5. Move the cartridge bay to the left of the gray bar before installing the cartridges. Start with the yellow
cartridge on the left and attach the cartridges in the order below, matching the corresponding
SubliJet and Chromablast ink colors to the appropriate ink channel: It can be helpful to mark a number
“8” with a black marker on the top of the far right cartridge (ChromaBlast Yellow). This will eliminate
Installing the cartridges in the wrong ink channel location.
6. When all cartridges are in place, attach the custom cover. When closing the cover be careful not to
pinch the tubes.

the black dot with the black slot in the cartridge bay. Finally insert the plastic cross bars into place by sliding the notched end into the back of the chip holders.
