Re: Am I crazy?

George-
IMO it would be detrimental not to agitate the bottles before filling 
the carts. One has to remember that all these inks
have some pigment (if not entirely so) in them, and this creates a 
suspension -- eventually, no matter how small the particles,
they can settle out. So if they've been sitting, it would be good to 
swirl them around pretty vigorously to get them homogeneous .
The plastic bottles, if they are like those in Jon Cone's inks, are 
high quality polyethylene and non-reactive.
Let us know how it works.
