Yes, thank you Denis, I'm familiar with the items you mention. That's
what I use with great success on my R220 when doing BO printing with
one cartridge. I have all the items you mention... have Eboni ink in
the black position and cleaning fluid in the others. 

Do you mean to say this refill cart works _only_ on OEM carts? So it
won't work on the UTBO carts at the bottom of this page?
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Ink-Mixing.pdf  I was told today by
MIS that these UTBO carts are refillable - but how, I wonder.

The spongeless carts alone are no longer available, right? Sorry, but
I continue to get very confused by all this!

How about this option: I buy three OEM glop carts, empty them, and
refill those using that kit. That way I don't have color compatibility
issues when using new ink. Problem with this approach is that Paul
cautions against this bottom-fill method.
