Digital BW, The Print

I just received a CFS with UT inks from MIS. I read the instructions 
and thought I understood what needed to be done. When I looked at 
the CFS carts they sent me, however, I notice that they appear to be 
full of ink. The labels say "ARC-S020089-QUT MIS Ultratone pigment 3 
color" and "ARC-S020108-UTK MIS Ultratone pigment Black". The tubes 
have some ink in them, near the carts and the ends of the tubes 
(that will go in the bottles) are folded over and clipped...

My question is this: Do I still need to vacuum fill these carts as 
described in the instructions? Is there already a vacuum in these 
carts (thus the clipped-off ends)? It seems that if I try to pull a 
vacuum on these (already full?) carts that I'll just be sucking out 
the ink... I've called MIS twice and left messages and haven't 
gotten a reply. I've also emailed them twice...

Any advice?

Thanks,

Jim Batzer
