Digital BW, The Print

They're shite and I won't touch them.  I'm using spongeless carts from
Mandev in the UK and they work a treat.  If any air gets in via the poppet
valve, say when loading or unloading, it can make its way to the top of the
cart.  Basic stuff and it works well.  The sponge carts trap air around the
poppet valve.  Avoid them if you can.
