[Digital BW] Re: refilling MISPRO cart for the Epson 2200 (still more)

2005-10-29 by Nick H. Nugent

Try this link. Not exactly the same wording but it's the same idea
that the plug is very important.
 
http://www.inksupply.com/c82refill.cfm

colotbat.com has yet another clear cart that has a metal tube which
acts like the CIS tubing. You can consider this one a self contained
CIS without tubing. The fill hole requires no plug so refilling is
somewhat easier. Now can you guess why this color bat cart doesn't
require the plug  :?
