RE: [Digital BW] Re: MIS Spongeless Cart Plugs

Hmmm.  That sounds like it has a high chance of getting particles in the
ink, and forever clogging the jets.  Epson processes and fills their carts
in a cleanroom, FWIW.

Best regards,

You can get nylon (or other) 10/32 threaded plugs from
http://www.usplastic.com , or go with a nylon screw and get an "O"
ring to help seal the edge. 10/32 is the smallest threaded plug or
fitting, but they have 4/40 screws in nylon if you need something
smaller. Just ignore the inserted religious material if you're not
interested. As long as they don't try and force me to their belief,
it's easy to ignore it. If they come to my house.... well that would
be a completely different thing.

Also those fittings are made by the Eldon James Corp., so you might
look them up to see about ordering directly, but you may need to buy
by the hundred (or more) count, instead of a few at a time.
