I'm sure this has been covered MANY MANY times, but I'd appreciate a
response if possible.

When refilling the above what should happen to the air vents at the top end
of the cart (opposite the exit port ?
Should they be

1 Sealed or uncovered during refilling ?
2 Sealed or uncovered for storage ?

So far my experience seems to be that uncovered during filling works best ?

Any tips appreciated!

Definitely uncovered (to allow proper absorption) during refilling and
regular operation, of course.

Definitely sealed for long term storage to prevent drying.

Right you are. I once took out a cartridge that was registering low and
when I looked at it I noticed I hadn't removed the tape from the vents.
Fortunately, it had worked perfectly so I assume my seal wasn't exactly
air tight. I just use dollar store (Scotch type, transparent) tape.

Tips is good. That's why we're here... all tipsy (some more than
others). ;-)
