    Took this one from Shane. Get a bucket fill with a rubbish bag and kitty litter and pour it. Let it soak up then put it in the rubbish.

    Such a pity there’s no kind of recycling point for this in Romania!! My customers ask me all the time where they could throw the waste ink. I really don’s know what should I say to them. Most of the times, the wasted ink is thrown away in a hole in the ground. I know it’s not OK, but…
