I felt that I wasn't getting any better results with the German method - wasn't any faster or less messy for me. Since I much prefer using squeeze bottles rather than syringes for filling, I seemed to be getting more bubbles in the ink chamber that was causing me problems. It is said that top filling causes overfilling and some associated problems - I haven't had any problems. Also felt that continually punching through the foam with a needle would eventually damage the cartridge. Since I always removed the small plastic ball on the top to allow for easy flushing, the top fill method was logical for me. I was a late changer to the German method - when I did I just didn't see the great advantages that many tout. BTW the OCP inks I recently changed to seem to produce much fewer air bubbles than either Hobbicolor or IS inks when refilling so maybe my main complaint on the German method wouldn't hold with OCP inks. But I have no present plans on going back to see.dwolf said:
How do you like the OCP pigment black ink? Is it dark enough for you? Have you noticed any difference in blackness compared to the other two that you have used?on30trainman said:
