Digital BW, The Print

Hello Manuel,

It may not be the ink getting low, but the cartridge could have a 
buildup of foam so that when you filled the first refill and the ink 
flowed out the vent hole appearing to be full, it was really not 
full. The overflow was foam buildup. Every other refill I always use 
a large syringe and tape over the vent holes and draw out all the 
foam and ink inside the chamber before refilling.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
