how long are the ink tubes? would it be possible to put the ink container below the printer on a separate shelf? I need to secure this from my 3yr old!

It's Not recommended to have these tanks higher or lower than the level of the printer it will interfere with the flow of the ink.

The Ink container has to placed next to the printer on the same level. You cannot place it above or below the printer.

The tubes maybe 2feet, however, the instuction clearly states to place the ink supply unit on the same level as your printer so I probably would not put it on a level shelf. For the record, if you have not ordered this system yet, what are you waiting for? I have two HP 8600 printers and two of these ink units and I am so proud of myself for purchasing this. It is simple to install and I don't have to worry anymore about ink cartridges and getting those irratating ink cartridge error messages. Not to mention being able to print whatever, whereever, whenever, and FOREVER.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! The ink system is designed to be gravity fed at an EXACT Pressure. If it is too high the ink will flow into your printer and could overflow. If it is too low it may not feed properly. NOTE: If you bought the extra paper tray like I did, you will have to put something under the Ink system so that it is at the same level of the printer itself (Like if it only had one paper tray.) I made a cardboard box the exact height as the extra paper tray and keep my ink system on top of that.

The desk cabinet has a slider shelf that would be designed for a printer but my printer would not fit. It will never allow a tower to fit in there because the cabinet is only about 14" deep. Width and height would fit.

Hi K.W, 19" wide, 20" deep, and 18" in height (if you remove the shelf). The printer shelf can be adjusted to a variety of heights within those 18" inches. Also, the first one I was sent had some scratches. Not sure if it came that way from the factory or if it was used. Amazon, sent me a new one free of charge and discounted the price a little for the hassle. Best of luck and happy holidays!

I have this bookshelf in my home and have loaded it with a ton of random items. Each shelf has a collection of books in varying weights and I have a box of toys on top. With all this the book shelf doesn't even jiggle. I would think it would be able to support your printer. I do have it against a wall though so there may be additional support given by the wall. I cannot vouch for a free standing bookshelf.

The area with the door is about 20 inches if you don't put the shelf in. The open area under the top is about 8 1/2 inches. We keep our printer in that area.

You should plan on cutting a notch in the printer to route the ink tubes. Then the lid closes. You can put something in the open/close sensor, but that doesn't work as well. It is a bit of work to make the notch, but you save about $1000 in ink with this bundle, and the print quality is great.

There is not room for a printer in the cabinet unless you put the computer on the desktop (such as an all-in-one as in the other reply) and use the computer tower space for the printer. There is room on the desktop for a printer, next to the monitor. We tried that but did not like how it looked. We had purchased the matching lateral file cabinet and our wifi printer is on top of that in another part of the room.

You might want to try putting back in the dead ink cartridge as you can get a few more prints out of it that way. But in the long term, buy a new printer as this one goes through ink like water and will cost you 10x the amount you paid for the printer itself. I threw mine off my third story window and it made a very satisfying crash into the parking lot behind my building.

I honestly don't know that I would put a printer on that shelf - it moves very easily if you are thinking of it staying pulled out. If you are thinking you would slide the printer in and out that will not work - the space is only about two inches.

Depending on the size of your printer, mine would fit on there. It may hang over a bit on front and back. I have my printer on a small side shelf from K-Mart . I hope , this is of help for you.

I have 8 inches from the top of the printer to the top of my shelf and it doesn't open up completely, but enough to put something on the tray to copy or fax or scan. It's enough room for me....hope you have maybe 6-8 inches....

Am not sure if we are of the same printer model. But generally starter cartridge container is as big as a regular one and should be able to accommodate the same volume as a regular one. Best is to try it. Anyway, the excess powder can still be stored for future use.

Yes, it will work, but .... it works better with a few "modifications". First, cut the lid off the printer. This opens the printer up so the ink ribbon has room to move. Secondly, glue a small 2 inch block on top of the back wall of the cartridge well. This will hold the ink ribbon higher and allow it to move back and forth with no interference.

mid tower WILL NOT FIT (easily) if you remove a major portion of the pseudo wood grain stained cardboard backing, and allow your connectors (and ventilation to exit the back, a mid tower will fit. A very short format printer could fit on top, but best to put a stand adjacent

Is the protective tape off? How long have your cartridges. Is the cover closed all the way?

i would not recommend it because at its present height it can just about handle the weight and vibration of a typical printer. I think it would most likely become unstable; I.e., very wobbly, handling the printer weight in a further stacked configuration, Plus, although not a big deal, you would not be able to use the second drawer because that is part of the top shelf only. I would recommend side by side or look for a unit specifically designed with additional stacked shelves.

The printer shelf measures 19-1/2" wide x 14-1/2" deep. There is a 3-3/4 inch clearance under the shelf.
