The Y cart thing, maybe? I'ld like to know what you find experimenting.

You don't mention it but you're also going to have to reset chips or
use brand new carts emptied. Or maybe you could grab a chip off one of
the CIS units for 2200 that I have heard vaguely of??

MIS before the advent of virgin empties had a procedure for flushing
multi-chamber carts using a flushing manifold, and they still may sell
this and have a flushing procedure which uses lots of water. Whether
it would work with UC ink-I don't know.

In converstaions with BZob Zeiss at MIS he also told me of them
hacksawing off the tops of carts and removing sponges, refilling from
top etc. I think he tried to saw it so that top could be put back on.

Of course this was NOT for 2100/2200 but 1280/1160, etc. You're
probably in open water here...
