Digital BW, The Print

Colin..

I haven't tried it, but MIS had recommended the "careful" use of a hot-melt
glue gun to me when I first began using these carts for my 1280..

Any air leak at all will cause you MAJOR grief..The holes must be sealed
REALLY well..

Subject: [Digital BW] REMOVALBE PLUG FOR SEALING FILL HOLE ON SPONGELSS
(sic)CARTS


Hi,

  I am wanting to order spongeless cartridges for an Epson 1290 and new
220, but the above items have been out of stock for a while.

Is there another means of achieving the same end that these plugs are
designed to serve?

Thanks,

Colin

I tried hot melt glue when I had some leaky plugs, but it was very
difficult to get a perfect seal.  The slightest moisture led to tiny,
leaks that emptied the carts, when in the printer - so the valves were
open - in about a day.  

Silicone "bathroom" sealant seemed to work a little better in the few
attempts I made, again the area must be dry, but it seemed less
critical with this.  I just wiped with a tissue after filling.  I
ended up discarding these carts as non-leaky ones were supplied in a
couple of weeks, so I cannot comment on reuse.

Of course it could be that other hot melt glues are better than the
one I had (no idea what it was). Also I am not very familiar with hot
glue so it may be you can do better - as Eddie says the seal must be
perfect.

The very first fill could be simpler, as it may be possible to avoid
getting any ink near the fill holes (I always had traces of ink from
removing old plugs when refilling.)

Good luck Colin.

I use the original MIS rubber-seal, + hot melt glue on top of it.
So it's sealed, but no glue in the hole itself.
