Digital BW, The Print

Paul, I have three CIS & three MIS CFS systems, one 1200, rest 1160's. (OK,
two of the 1160's are at my day job). All of the systems perform flawlessly.
The MIS needs more time to "settle in", maybe because of the filter you
mention, or maybe because of the tube port placement on the carts. I let the
carts sit overnight after filling, to let the ink settle down to the bottom
exit port. Also after installing it takes longer to get the first perfect
nozzle check. But once you are past the initial hiccups, it works fine.

And yes you can use your existing big syringe to vaccuun fill the CFS.
