Hello Roger, I have about 40 something MIS carts for my R220s.  I've had three "leakers" and 
tried a number of things before just pulling off the chips and tossing the carts.  There seems 
to be a failure rate that you just can't get around.  As to stock, I just ordered 30 new 
spongeless carts for an 1800 I have on order and there was no problem with the order, the 
price has gone up a bit...(we do live in a capitalist society), but MIS said as long as they are 
on the website they'll be selling them.  My experience has been once you get past the leakers 
and the bad chips, the ones that work are pretty solid.
