Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

I've found that, with a little care, chips can easily be pried intact off 
the cartridge bodies and re-used.  The chip needs only to be pressed up 
against the contact inside the printer head.  There should be some way to 
do this without the cartridge body in place.
