Digital BW, The Print

Matin (II),

Thanks for the suggestion, but I figure if Epson thought the sponge 
wasn't needed, they could have saved more money in the design of the 
carts and left them out, IOW it is there for a reason. 

If the ink is properly formulated, we should not have to resort to 
such potentially harmful measures just to get it to work in a printer 
it is supposed to work in.
