Symptoms this fixes

A failing ink tube system usually doesn’t show an error code. The most common signs are:

• Ink leaking from the ink tube assembly
• Ink dripping or spilling onto your prints

What's included

• Ink tube system
• Purging tool for priming the ink tubes
• Illustrated installation instructions
• Custom-built packaging that protects the crane and electrical connectors in transit
• Prepaid return shipping label for your old tube system (USA only)

How we rebuild it

OEM synthetic rubber (buna) seals oxidize, crack and leak over time. Every LPS rebuilt tube system gets:

• Ink tubes chemically cleaned, flushed with pure water and dried with particle-free air
• New LPS-designed silicone seals, with an expected life of at least 15 years
• All printhead ports and check valves replaced with new parts (LPS design)
• Smart chip life count reset to zero

Installation

No tools required. Watch the Designjet 5000 / 5500 ink tube replacement video.

Core return terms

Returned tube systems must be complete, with no missing parts. Tube systems that have been disassembled or broken apart cannot be repaired without special tooling and new seals, so they have no core value and are not refunded.

Returns

30-day return window. See our returns policy for details.
