Hi,

OK, I have kind of a dumb question. Or a series of them... I've had great
success with the UT7 inks in my 2200. With all the talk of the ease of
refilling MIS's new clear cartridges, I'm going to go that route. I've
followed the threads here and read MIS's various pages but I'm still a
little unclear on exactly what I'll need. Here's what I understand: I need
the clear carts; the inks; the chip resetter; and probably the bottom fill
adapter to draw out the air. But how many syringes and needles do I need?
One for each of the cartridges? Can you wash them out and re-use them? Which
size syringe, the 10cc or the 30cc? Anything else I'm missing? The actual
filling procedure looks quite easy.

Cheers,
Matthew Born

I'm using the 10 cc syringes and long needles.  I bought extra syringes 
and needles for spares, but you can easily flush and rinse one syringe 
for filling with different inks.  You will need a bottom fill adapter 
for getting the air bubble out of the bottom port after filling.  The 
first filling will take more ink  because the sponge side of the cart 
needs to be saturated.
