Frank,

Why are the ends of the tubes out ink bottles?  Once I've pulled a vacuum to
fill a CIS, I stick the ends of the tubes into the appropriate ink bottle,
uncrimp the tubes to fill the carts, and the tubes do not come out of those
bottles again until I need more ink.  You don't want any more air to get in
there than necessary.
