Getting Fingers Dirty
I have just obtained some once used empty Canon cartridges to refill with Precisioncolors ink. Flushing methods seem to involve drilling a hole in the top of the resevoir to let the flushing medium out then sealing it again with hotmelt. Refilling then by the German method. If I have to drill a hole in the resevoir top to flush why not refill through this hole as described in the paperwork supplied by Precisioncolors? Having examined a cartridge it would appear that the German method would involve pushing the needle through the sponge where it 'necks' into the ink exit hole. Is this harmful?
I believe that the dye based inks will flush easily but that the pigment ink will need more thorough flushing (especially if it is dry). I am aware of threads on here about sponge conditioning but just need some advise on flushing.
