Digital BW, The Print

Hello alan,

I bought two virgin cartridges that had never had ink inside and 
filled them myself with the syringe and bottles of ink for the 
proper chamber. The price comparison is unbelievable. A cartridge 
for hextone inksets runs about $30.00 and an 8 ounce bottle of ink 
runs $16.00. If each chamber of the six chambers is filled with 7CC 
of ink, then an 8 ounce bottle will fill each chamber about 16 
times. If you had to purchase a new cartridge when one chamber was 
empty then 16 X $30 is $480 and the price for 6 bottles of ink at 
$16 is $96 dollars. Which seems reasonable to you and me???

cartridges, guess I'll need to get a syringe then a small bottle to 
temporarily store.Are you using the inidvidual cart. or the refill 
system. My cart. came direct from MIS already filled. I'm surprised 
they would have air build up but I'm willing to try anything.
