I bought a 9600 cart.  I didn't have much luck getting ink out of it
using a modified bottom fill adapter and syringe with needle tip- I
was getting far too much air with the ink and ink was dribbling out
the bottom.

I tried using the fill syringe from this set:

It fit perfectly into the 9600 cart and it was easy to draw out just
the ink.  If you are using Epson Ultrachrome ink in small format
printers I definitely recommend trying this approach (and you can even
refill your OEM carts using this refill set).
