Digital BW, The Print

Jacques-

There was quite a bit of discussion in the Piezography forum about 
the carts getting loose and allowing air in, but no one used a rubber 
band or anything... The only thing I saw anyone suggest was to check 
them regularly and press them down. The two felt pads on each side 
should be enough to keep them there... I guess you could add 
something to that to make them thicker, but I assume NoMoreCarts has 
produced enough of them to know the best thickness (and too much 
could probably crack the plastic brackets).
