Not so easy to get here, cheapest would be importing again, which can get  
expensive.

Well, i tried the method on inksupply.com where you cut open the cart to  
clean the sponge. Only all the ink has drained out of the sponge/cart  
overnight for unknown reason. I'm not actually sure if this is still  
happening or not.

A bulk ink system would be best if you print often, but i think for my low  
volume filling the cart inside the printer would be less effort. It seems  
to me with spongeless carts this is possible.
