Digital BW, The Print

Hi:

I put scotch tape over the bottom and top vent holes this does seem 
to keep them from drying out.  I have stored them over two weeks 
without any problems.  However.......they do leak so be careful.  I 
called MIS and they said there is not valve in the bottom holes to 
prevent the leakage, but they literally sell rivets (which I have 
yet to buy but can get in your local home depot) to stick in the 
bottom holes.  Anyway the scotch tape does seem to work for me but 
again be aware that some ink will leak.

Joe
