Re: MIS Spongeless carts and a question

2005-09-06 by Johnny Eades

I just use a push pin and stick it in the plut at an angle-leave it 
on the pin--refill the chamber-wet the plut with water from the sink-
-reinsert plug and press down with finger. All done--and if there is 
stil ink in the chamber at the outlet, there's often no repriming 
needed.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
