Neil,

>So is the bottom or top loader thing you mention available? 

See http://www.inksupply.com/accessory.cfm?action=find&sub_cat=1

MIS has most of the accessories you'll need.  Filling these easy-refill
carts and MIS bulk ink lowers your ink costs to the point it becomes a minor
expense.

Buy some 10 cc syringes, the smallest number of bottom fill adapters, and
some needles.

You'll also need a chip resetter: http://www.inksupply.com/qb7.cfm

I use a little jeweler's screwdriver to pry out the stopper in the top of
the carts for refilling.

In addition to air in the ink, there could be junk on the head.  The wiper
is supposed to take care of that in cleaning, but I sometimes find a strip
of cloth bias tape with windex on it can be useful is wiping the head.  Be
sure there is no pile of dried ink on any of the sponge areas in the trough
the head goes through.  I had a pile on the left side cause problems a while
back.

Hope this helps.
