Digital BW, The Print

Absolutely serious.  There are drawbacks to the sponge, but that is the
function it performs.  Epson had sponge in prior 2200 carts; the improvement
over prior art is described in their patent.

Best regards,
John Moody

Are you serious?  About the only reason I can think of for the sponge is an
anti-spill mechanism.  Air must enter the cartridge in order for ink to exit
but you don't want ink to spill out the top...  At any rate, 2100 spongeless
carts have been around for a while in the UK.
