Hi Chris ( no- I'm the other Chris, you are the original chris for
this thread !)
re sucking the ink out...
When I was checking into the remote tank thingies.. I asked the guy
selling them if they could supply them empty of ink rather than filled
with Dye based ink..
The answer was yes.. and at a good discount... it seems the supplier
buys the kit from China or wherever in bulk and fills them himself..
And once you have the empty tanks with the connection pies etc.. its
easy enough to connect them all to the same resevoir if you wish (all
yellow or something)
So maybe its worth investigating if you have a supplier that is
willing to do that for you.
Just a thought
