Hello: I've a question about the MIS spongeless cartridges. Once they are initially filled and installed can they be refilled without removal? Thanks for any advice, Walt J.

To use the MIS chip re-setter, the carts need to be removed. For the CFSs, MIS uses auto-reset chips. These would work, but you would not know when to re-fill the carts. The Russian reset program might be a way to use regular chips, re-fill in place, and then re-set. The stopper is tough to remove, but one might be able to use another type of stopper. Frankly, I've had such good luck with just pulling the carts out and re-filling them that I don't think an alternative that might make a mess with ink is very attractive. Paul www.PaulRoark.com

Walt.. You didn't say which printer you have, but assuming it's a 1270 or later, you have to remove the carts to re-set the chip anyway..I have the spongeless carts in two1280's, and after a 4 -5 year living hell with 4 different CIS/CFS settups in 3 printers, I feel that I've reached injet heaven!..No (REAL) clogs on a color 1280 with Lyson Fotonics, and a B&W with MIS UT2 inks....Just a refill job that in my case takes about 15 minutes each printer including the chip re-set.. YMMV.. Eddie Wiseman

What kept me from a CIS unit was concern about whether it would continue to work after putting out the money for a printer specific unit. The spongeless carts seem like the answer.
