[comp.sys.mac.misc] Refilling DeskWriter Cartridge

eck@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Hangnail Whipperwill) (11/28/90)

   Help!  As a stingy bastard and starving college student, I decided to try
and refill my DeskWriter cartridge when it went dry.  I got the syringe,
1.5" needle, and ink, and put 10cc of ink back in the cartridge.  Everything
seemed to be fine last night, but today, nothing will come out again.  I am 
afraid that the ink in the cartridge dried up overnight.  I used non-waterproof
india ink, as I could not find Schaffer Scrip ink...was that my (fatal?) 
mistake?  Is there any way I can, without damaging my cartridge, clean the ink
out and put better ink in?  Thanks in advance.
