I'm pretty sure the R200/R300 series cartridges are spongeless. But
not so easy to refill OEM cartridges inside the printer, although I'm
checking that out.

Or get a cheap set of 3rd party cartridges.

It's not so hard to refill sponged cartridges. It's actually better
not to remove them from the printer. A bulk ink system really is
-much- easier than refilling.
