Thanks for the info. I wonder if a MIS bottom fill adapter could be 
used to suck ink straight out of the cart. I would guess not if there 
is no vent hole. If the foil bag is easy to get at then I guess the 
answer is to syringe the ink into new plastic bottles. Voila bulk 
ink. Very tempted to try this.
