You could always try Needle Runners which stabilise your needles and block the tube at the same time.
Play nice now people or your naughty posts will go in the Shit Box!
i have one of roys and one of mikes they both do it... not the linear kind... what are needle bar runners?
One thing I've found with thicker pigments, is that I have to run my machines slower. If you are not having problems with thinner inks, only the thick ones, either dilute the thick ink with a drop of distilled water or witch hazel into the ink cap so that everything is uniform, or slow your machine down to accommodate the thick ink.
I think it was Specialtechnique and/or rjdaddio that posted an interesting response to a thread about Dragonfly machines spitting ink out the tube because of people running them too fast and it almost building up somewhat of a vacuum which made the ink travel up the needle...
