    	Yep, because there are no print heads on the cartridge, if the seal 
isn't airtight then all the ink spills out at the bottom.

    	Be careful, however. The top isn't a smooth surface, you might have 
to fill in the depressions with silicone to get a flat surface and get a 
good seal.

    	Make sure you don't touch the little black rubber ball on top. It 
acts as a valve, letting in air as the ink level drops.
