The spongeless conversion cover addresses this by incorporating a pressure regulator. This regulator, which resembles a white column near the refill hole, ensures proper ink flow. It replaces the sponge’s role in maintaining pressure equilibrium within the cartridge. Without this feature, your cartridge would fail to operate correctly, leading to potential ink wastage and printer damage.

Why the Spongeless Conversion Cover is Necessary
Unfortunately, simply glueing the original cover back onto a cartridge won’t work for a spongeless conversion. The reason lies in how ink is regulated inside the cartridge. In a standard sponge-based cartridge, the sponge maintains pressure to prevent ink from flowing uncontrollably. Without this mechanism, the ink would flood out of the cartridge.The spongeless conversion cover addresses this by incorporating a pressure regulator. This regulator, which resembles a white column near the refill hole, ensures proper ink flow. It replaces the sponge’s role in maintaining pressure equilibrium within the cartridge. Without this feature, your cartridge would fail to operate correctly, leading to potential ink wastage and printer damage.
How to Proceed with a Spongeless Conversion
To perform a spongeless conversion successfully, ensure that you:- Use the designated spongeless conversion cover with a built-in pressure regulator.
- Follow the specific instructions provided with the conversion kit to avoid issues with pressure regulation.
- Could you test the cartridge in your printer after the conversion to verify proper functioning?
