Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Scott. Curious which BFA you have. My model #FADP (I think officially for the 
7600/9600 carts?) seems pretty flimsy at the tip. Also wondering what I am trying to do 
with the wiggling, etc.--am I trying to depress a spring or something to open the valve, or 
is it more of a rubber nipple? It's hard to tell with the opaque high-capacity carts, and I 
think knowing what is going on with the valve would help me refine my technique. ;)

Everything else about this setup has been super-easy. This is the only part I'm getting 
hung up on.
