Digital BW, The Print

Bob,

All of the carts (and there are several) I have filled with the bottom-fill
method have been problem-free (and that includes clog-free). I cannot say
the same for the vaccuum method. I am convinced. Perhaps the good ink I use
from MIS is relatively grotless. You are free to go your own way, I am just
trying to help by reporting my experience, which is perhaps above average
due to the battery of printers I use. -BK
