Digital BW, The Print

Hi Scott,

I made the hole as big as on the other cartridges and plugged it with 
the rubber plug after filling.
Yea, I guess the sponge would filter out any debris, didn't think about 
it.....

The printer is up and running now, after the first print was full of 
banding (didn't have patience to wait for 2 hours:-)
  I did one head cleaning and now they are great.
