Every time I fill the cartridge, I clean off the print head by running warm water over it. (in my kitchen sink). This cleans the ink holes, and removes any ink buildup. I then inject about 20cc of ink into the hole in the top with a syringe. I've thought about trying different colours, but have never gotten around to it. I have taken a cartridge apart, and they are extremely simple. There is a piece of Foam Rubber, that fills the space, (to keep the ink from sloshing about and leaking out the top/bottom). Nothing could be simpler. I really don't understand how they can charge so much for them. chris ------- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Christopher J. M.
