Tried all that. I must say that is looked very strange -- ink bubbling 
out of the hole actually far away from the end of the needle even when 
the needle was submerged in ink (or not). Like it is some kind of air 
pressure thing that I do not understand.

That's my conclusion too.

I will use your method from now on.

As I posted a little while ago, an e-mail from MIS support said that 
plugs are not used on these clear 2200 cartridges... 

>(On the other hand I had problems too, with leaks.)

Oh crap, I don't need to here about that...! :)

Thanks, Ken, for your feedback.
