Ink flow in sponge carts could be a difficult issue...
-lower sponge has to be saturated, without air voids (which may be hard to recognize if they are inside) and without foam building. If you try a magenta mouth and blow into the air vent, there should come out ink, not foam.
- upper sponge should not be saturated, at least not like the lower, because it is only for "breathing": air must be able to flow from the air vent through the upper sponge down to little ridges...through which the air finally reach the gap to the ink compartement.

- the outlet of the cart has to sit tightly on the rubber gasket of the head's inlet.
