MIS/inksupply.com will try to get some of them in if they are out of stock.
To order them, email support@... and reference "Justin."

Yes, the funnel fill are easier to fill.  That is why so many use them and
MIS mostly sells that type.  However, I like the more compact standard
ones.  They keep more air out, and they keep out the light.  They are
rather easy to agitate also by removing them.

Yes, it just takes a lot of distilled water (first) and clear base (second)
to get all the color out.

Yes, but the defect rate on them appears to be fairly high.  If yours is
funky, just buy another.
