Re: [Digital BW] Spongeless carts for 2100/2200?

2007-05-07 by Leslie Otterbein

Richard:

Ditto to other remarks regarding the half sponge cartridge and the  
2200. Other than the nuisance trying to pull out the plug to refill,  
they have performed well for me. Not even one bad chip, and minimal  
cleanings involved.
