I've been using the MIS OEM refill kit with good results... after
filling I place the bottom fill adapter on the syringe and draw about
1 mil out, covering the air vent hole with a finger. This is supposed
to help with the air problem people are talking about. But, Robert,
I've heard that you have to get the cart back in the printer as soon
as possible, for me that's about 2-3 minutes, so the printer ports
don't dry out. What do you think? Is something to be concerned about?
Thank you!

Paul
