Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul -
Could you elaborate on priming the half sponge cartridge and what your 
modification to
what looks like a syringe with a notch cut in the end of the 7 mm 
length? Are these the refill carts
sold by MIS?
I'm just starting to print with K7 Piezo cartridges on a 2200, and know 
I'm going to need to refill carts
because of the costs of new ones!

BTW, you're accumulating a wonderful body of work - I just visited your 
website.
Thanks,

Clay Price
