german method: to seal or not to seal.....

german method: to seal or not to seal.....

have heard the arguments that sealing is good and it certainly can't hurt

tried sealing a few refills ago, took me longer to unseal and reseal then it did to refill. so being the "time efficient"(ie lazy) person i am, until a problem arises, i have decided not to seal

going on 2 years now using the "unsealed" german method, still refilling my original 2 year old canon CLI8's, 12 refills each

i know we have some heavy re fillers here, just curious what their thoughts are on this seal issue

Could someone post a link to The German Method? I see hundreds of references to it but no details. Pardon my noobosity.

It is one of the featured articles on nifty-stuff.com. Click on the link at the top of this page and then click on "all the articles" and then scroll down the the Printers category and click on The "German Durchstich" Refill Method. I also made a couple videos which you can link to from here.

Thank you. I see now it is for Canon carts only.
