[Digital BW] Re: refilling MISPRO cart for the Epson 2200 (still more)

2005-10-28 by Mike Dobbs

MIS disagrees:

From their refill instruction on the spongeless clear carts, step #4:
"Re-install the rubber plug. Make sure it fits tight. An air leak 
here will let ink drain into your printer. If you think the plug is 
damaged, use a new one. "

Link to page where you can also see the inner design of the cart:
