Would this work?
Drill a hole through the cartridge into the inner cart.
Place a tube into the inner cart and seal it.
Drill a hole through the printer side.
Mount an ink reservoir on a 'shelf' at the same level.
These Brother printers have fixed position cartridges.
Mine is a Brother MFC-210C.
I believe that many Canon and Brother MFC printers use non-moving cartridges.
EXTENDED CARTRIDGE anyone?
Basically what I was designing.

Great! Now that we all agree that if we increase the volume of the ink cartridge and we keep the height the same, we will have more ink available at the same pressure as in the original cartridge.
Remember, this is a simple CISS for a fixed position cartridge printer that enables us to cut...
Fill a bathtub and open the drain.
The water will come out faster at first and it will slow down as the tub empties.
It matters not if it is a bathtub or a swimming pool at the same level if the outlet is the same diameter.
Sorry, but gravity does not know the width of the container, only its...
"I don't think so. A 1" tube of water filled to the same level will have millions of times less pressure at the bottom than your swimming pool."
You are confusing force and pressure.
Force = pressure/area
The pressure in a small diameter tube is the same pressure (pounds/sq in) as in the...
Any increase in volume horizontal will increase pressure at the nozzles.
This is scientifically incorrect!
Take a swimming pool 100' x 100' and fill it to a 1 foot level.
Place a divider into the pool to produce a pair of 100' x 50' pools.
The pressure of a 100' x 100' pool and a 100' x 50'...
An extension of the original FIXED (non-moving) cartridge through a hole drilled in the side of the printer to a reservoir at the same level should eliminate any pressure associated problems.
How does the cartridge know that it was enlarged?
Pressure = height x density x gravity (hdg)
When you add volume to the original cartridge and you do NOT increase the height of the fluid level, the pressure remains the same as before.
Siphons, etc. are needed when dealing with different fluid levels.
My concept is like this:
: ...
A short rigid or plastic tube inserted into a tight hole drilled near the bottom of a cartridge and glued in place will be the connect point for a flexible tube.
Same at the external ink container.
My idea is to enlarge the volume of the cartridge and keep the ink level the same as the...
1> Avoid automatic cleaning cycles with a substitute .bat file.
Print BLACK, MAGENTA, CYAN, YELLOW every 10 hours and use less ink.
2> Instead of CISS why not drill a hole in the side of the stationary cartridge (MFC Brother, Canon, etc) , drill holes in the side of your printer, attach a...
