Digital BW, The Print

Concerning the MIS refill system. A word to the wise. I have to exert a lot of pressure to refill 2400 carts with this method. I've had the cart slip and ink goes all over the place. A cart holder of some type would be a nice addition. Also be carefull pulling out the syringe from the port that delivers ink in the printer. It's very easy to damage the seal. A poorly designed setup imho, but, it does work.

Best, Walt
