Hey Costa

I was just doing a quick test on a near empty cart for Peter - the issue was
not the seal but the suction required to pull ink out (although I agree with
Paul that ideally one would take a file to the tip of the bottom fill
adaptor).  But I have to say I am about done with bulk inks.  Having spent
the last three days making profiles for my 4800 Epson driver and QTR I am
hoping not to be tempted by a new ink set for quite some time!  I switched
Epson MK for Eboni on the 4800 and I am hoping that will be the end of it.
I am very happy with the Epson K3 inks (220ml carts) thus far and I am not
sure buying bulk ink is worth the extra hassle unless one was printing in
enormous volumes (ie a production/print house).

Cheers

Steve
