Digital BW, The Print

Hi all... a truly newbie question here.  I have an Eboni cart in a 
2200 printer.  It is the first MIS cartridge I've used.  Having heard 
that these carts are not self-sealing, I'm wondering how big a 
mess it'll be if I remove it and what, if any, precautions people 
take.

thanks for any info on this!
