Martin, & everyone else,

I am not a big fan of the vacuum fill method myself.  I am going to 
redo my CFSs using the bottom fill method.
Opinions on the "perfect" amount of ink to put into the cartridge 
(epson 1280/90).  I have come to realize that there has to be just 
the right amount, not too much (no vacuum break) and not too little 
(I think this contributes to sponge/ink foam).
MIS has recently told me 18cc is the ideal amount.  Just looking for 
other people's opinions.

All the best
Kevin
