As a happy CIS/CFS user, I would assert that any method of transferring ink
with syringes, squeeze bottles or whatever is inherently messy.

At any rate,  that was years ago, as I said. I don't clearly remember the
details of the mess creations, but I do remember there were occasional
puddles of ink. I was explaining my history that created my bias against
Canon & not trying to slam the current crop of Canons. From the posts in
this thread, it sounds like Canon may be worth another look.   -BK
