You can bottom fill 1280 CFS cartridges very easily. I don't know
about 1160 carts though. The bottom fill seems to work just as well,
maybe better. Just make sure you suck all the foam out. No small task
as it seems it will never end. 

If you don't know how much ink to put in the cart, and it's not on Jon
Cone's site, go to the MIS site.
