I noticed something about the latest batch of virgin empty cartridges from MIS. For these I use the vacuum fill method but I found that out of 5 cartridges I could only get one to totally filled up. I suspect the bottom seal leaks due to some problem in manufacturing process. If this is indeed the case, I'll bet their inkjet filling station may not be able to fill the carts to their maximum capacity.

Bjorn in a response to your email said that he was able to print lots more after refilling the cartridge himself. I think it is would be helpful to MIS if they are informed of this problem and get it corrected. I will send them an email about this as well.
