I don't know what this has to do with Piezo vs 2200 printing but 
using a syringe to suck ink into a cart is SOP with CFS carts when 
initially priming them for use (also after that if the cart looses 
its prime). In short it should work well (probably easier since CIS 
carts don't have internal sponges).
