the pump, stick the sharp needle of the syringe full ink through the soft
plug, and the ink gets pulled out of the syringe into the cart. >>

Hi Paul:

I haven't yet used this method with individual carts, just the CIS.  Do you 
fill from the bottom or top of the cart?  What quantity of ink do you use for 
the 1160 vs. 1270 carts?  

Thanks a lot,
