Re: Filling from the bottom??

I'd bet that you could get clots if pigmented inks sat
around for a while, not in the category of anything called
"gunk", but potentially problematic. Also it seems possible
that clots could be at least partially broken up by a
filter, thus returning the full color to the useable ink.
