You know, this is activating some very dusty neurons as this was the

in there, but I don't remember any of them opening up the reservoir. If
there had been, we'd have done it; we refilled many hundreds of CX
cartridges.
Dunno. *shrug*

But, those cartridges didn't NEED any holes! With a torx bit, you could
disassemle it PROPERLY, clean it PROPERLY, refill it, and restore it to
use.
Was it REALLY that much easier to poke holes in it, instead of opening it?
