I tried the whole bypassing thing myself at one point but for a whole slew of reasons (see below) you don't want to do that. Much better to just use the fill hole and use the bag as a safety valve to capture any air bubbles (a major printhead killer with the HP88) and easier to modify too.ZenMasta said:Do you have any pictures? I was thinking of bypassing the bag all together and just connecting a tub right before the one way valve that goes into the pressure bulb.
Best thread to read on this whole topic is here:

It shows the steps I went through to figure out a lot of the problems and deals with the points above nicely.
There's two types of chip when it comes to HP.Also, on your site what does it mean not black chip dependant?
1. Dependent, where the CYM chips all take the lead from the K (black) chip. They ALL need to be used as a set and won't work if one of the chips (especially the black) is not present.
2. Independent. They store their own ink level information and will work with any other OEM chips (but not the dependent ones).
I should probably make that clearer on the site too
