Digital BW, The Print

Scott,

Fill the new clear "easy refill" types through the top hole.  Just pull the
plug, fill, and reset the chip.

I'm anti-bottom fill.  The filter in the carts is supposed to protect the
head from any junk that is in the ink.  If you bottom fill cartridges any
excessively large particles are on the wrong side of the filter and end up
in the head.  Ultimately, bottom filling will probably lead to a clogged
screen in the head and the need to replace the head -- an expensive repair.
That said, bottom filling has been about the only way to fill a number of
types of carts.  That is one reason these new carts are such an important
development.

 Paul,

I forgot to ask:

Is the prefered method of re-filling the new (clear) carts, through  
the bottom?
