For those of us using and enjoying our Epson printers, there is a solution to messy refills. Epson or any tank type cartridge have a bag or some cellophane wall that can be pierced during refilling. To prevent this, as with the initial posting, vacuum is the key. No not the house vacuum but a vacuum...

Why do some refills work and others do not? This is the most common question asked by folks refilling their empty inkjet cartridges. AIr bubbles .
