Digital BW, The Print

All this shaking has me wondering. To get at the cartridges in my 1400, 
I have to use the change ink button. And of course, putting the 
cartridges back (after filling or agitating) causes a "new ink" cycle to 
occur in the printer, wasting my time, and, presumably, my ink. Even 
checking to see if the ink needs to be refilled causes it to waste more 
ink. Is there a better way? Push the ink button and pull the plug? Does 
everyone else suffer through these interminable cleaning cycles every 
time they want to examine the cartridges?
