Digital BW, The Print

When I ordered mine, they came with light translucent plugs in a 
separate small bag. The hole you put ink in with the syringe/needle 
must be plugged with those plugs or you will get ink dripping all 
over the place sooner or later. After plugging the holes, you must 
use a bottom adapter on another syringe and pull out just enough ink 
from each chamber too see in the tip of the syringe. This removes any 
air that is in the small chamber right at the outlet the printer 
pulls the ink from. After all this is done, you will simply need to 
perform a nozzle check and you should have perfect patterns if you 
had them before filling the cartridge. These are the most trouble-
free cartridges I have ever used, and the problem of foam buildup is 
eliminated.
