Yes, but is it not so that by taking them out, you create new air
pockets in the ink outlets (I suppose this is were these air pockets
arise). Thus, is it not better to leave the carts in the printer while
filling, and monitoring the ink level by looking from above?

And do you, as with pre-filled carts, use the "out-of-ink-light" as an
indication that you have to do a refill?

Btw, Thank you, Steven.
