Odd, Jerry, I never had a problem in the least with leaking front side 
down. I'd be a litle leary to store them upside down, but whatever 
works for you, I guess in the end is what works...Bill Bergh just 
recommended front side down to me  in October 2000 and said not to use 
rubber bands to hold the EZ-plugs in place...and I've been doing it 
like that ever since.

If it was an 1280 cart, the face with the chip on it goes down. If you 
don't have an 1280/1290/1290/ other chipped cart/ to look at, 
well-lets see...imagine the cart inserted into the printer. If the 
printer head was transparent and you could see the cart through it, 
then you'd see the back of the cart if you faced the printer bed. The 
FRONT of the cart would not be visible, you'd have to peer over the 
back of printer  (or it's paper tray enterance) and remove the top 
cover to see the  "front" side of cart that faces to the inside of 
printer. Seems hard for me to explain-as you face the printer, it's 
the side of the cart that faces away from you, towards the guts of 
printer.

Said even another way, with the front side down you'd see the exit 
port that contacts the nipple (the bottom of cart) standing vertically 
with the port/EZ-plug  down near table surface.

It's also the filling position for a MIS CFS or vacuum filled cart.
Whew!
