Digital BW, The Print

Great forum.  Very knowlegable individuals with professional, 
respectful input, feedback.

Once i went to a 1280 with MediaStreet inks and CIS I had an Epson 
740 that was sitting around looking forelorn.  I took a leap and 
converted it to QuadTone for my B&W work.  Not being able to find 
any workflows for this printer I did what I did in the darkroom and 
played around until I seem to have made some progress with prints 
using Somerset PE Velvet.  

Now, my problem.  In the past with the 740 i refilled the colour 
carts using a syringe and top filling them.  I never had any 
problems.  As I get ready to refill these carts the info that I have 
been reading make the process seem very complicated (bottom filiing, 
draining foam, etc. etc.)  My fantasy was to refill using bulk MIS 
inks (the inkset that I have been trying out) in the same manner 
that I used for the colour.  The page after page of technical 
instructions on various sites is daunting to say the least.  

Anyone out there refilled carts using a syringe and top filling?? 
Any suggestions??

Regards

Bill
