i hope this post reaches grandad, i have some bci-3 carts that i was ready to throw away until i read the post about flushing, they were sold as colorjet, i have refilled them maybe 40 times, so i tried flushing them this is the results, the sponges (solid 1 piece) retained full color while clear water was running thru, i increased the pressure and the top blew off the cart, now basically i have spongeless carts, i am going to put them back together and glue the top back on and refill with water to test for leaks. the question that arises is the material at the exit port "cigarette filter" appears to need the sponge in place to hold the "cigarette filter" in place. besides holding the filter in place what other purpose does the sponge have, there is also a small piece of sponge between the holding tank and the sponge section, to maybe wick the ink from the holding tank to the sponge area(is this needed) final question does anyone have any expereince with spongeless carts as i have seen them for sale on several sites
