It depends entirely on what kind of CIS system you are using... Pictures would help.

You could but a few things to keep in mind.

1. You have a spongeless buffer system in those cartridges which makes the kit and printer much more susceptible to pressure variances.

2. You do not want to increase the height of the ink level otherwise you could end up overpressuring the kit so think about a wider alternative rather than a taller one.

3. Overpressuring the system can create a syphon, ESPECIALLY if you fit a waste ink kit which, from previous experience means you end up with ink being drained out of your reservoirs and wasted.
