RE: [Digital BW] A tip for the new spongeless carts

2005-04-11 by Paul Roark

I would second what is said below.

Additionally, I found when pulling ink from 7600 carts that the standard
bottom fill adapter did not seal well.  So, for that purpose I shortened the
snout on one to 7 mm, and it worked much better.  I use that when I "prime"
the clear carts.  I'm wondering if the use of standard bottom fill adapters
might not be as effectively pulling the air out of the outlet.
