RE: [Digital BW] Re: Printing On Gloss...Possible with Digital B&W?

That's right, as I said, they improved the carts by taking the sponge out.
They are now spongless.  Epson is very proud of the clever way they control
the ink pressure at the outlet as it empties.  Take a real good look at the
cart, it's a plumbing marvel.  Somewhere I had a picture of the internal
plumbing and valves that made it clear how it worked.  Maybe I can find it
later.

Best regards,
John Moody

Hmmm I don't recall any in Epson carts when I last pulled one to pieces.
I'll take another look when I get an empty.
