From what I can conclude, and don’t quote me on this, the air intake system is to allow the internal bladder to stay inflated as the ink is drawn into the printer, something has to replace the ink, otherwise the cart would just suck the ink back in again..
The serpentine path on the CLl-8 cart does much the same thing, that allows air to replace the used ink to maintain the same atmosphere all the time..
This air vent doesn’t leak ink, but it needs to be keep clear, and I reckon it’s better to pull back on the syringe plunger a little after filling to clear this vent of any ink..
