Digital BW, The Print

Once you install the carts and break the seal over the exit ports, 
the game is up.  If you try to pull a vacuum, all you will do is pull 
air back through the print head.  I have no idea if this will work, 
but you could try to tape over the broken seals, pull a vacuum and 
fill the CIS carts, let the inks settle as in the instruction, then 
remove the tape and quickly install the carts.  Note:  You should 
install an existing set of carts with ink as soon as you remove the 
empty CIS carts--you don't want the print head drying out.  Before 
you install the full CIS carts, you should make sure you can get a 
good nozzle check with the temporary carts.  Since you probably 
pulled a lot of air back through the head, you might have to do 
several head cleanings and maybe wait overnight.

Good Luck.
