Todd,

I spoke today with a company who sell a 'competing' ink supply system ;)
They apparently ship the carts pre-filled with ink, and tell users just to
stick the ink lines in the right bottles. Yes... their bulk ink system is
therefore implicitly being used with a lot of air in it. I would therefore
think the NMC CIS would survive equally well.

I must admit, for your situation, the easy solution does seem more
attractive than the alternative (which I'll suggest some options for you if
you'd like)
