I have put spongeless carts on this, not a CIS.
The silicone stoppers are very likely airtight...

What could have happened is that i didn't raise the park station the  
identically same amount as the head, would this cause this?
I'd assume the spring under the pad would prevent any problems there...

The spongless carts would be an obvious place to seek fault with, but i  
believe they are fairly standard items.
Also, i had all the ink leak out of the cart, twice (=each time i  
refilled) with the old sponged carts...

Do i need to observe something when filling those carts?
