How well does this spore print tek work?

I've been debating between either
http://www.shroomery.org/8404/Spore-printing-Pictorial or http://www.shroomery.org/8399/TheMilkMans-Sporeprint-and-Syringe-Tek
It seems like either would work but I remember hearing that a spore sprint has enough spores to make atleast 5 10ml spore syringes if not more. And having too many spores in a syringe can actually be harmful to your mycelium growth and yeilds in the long run. I could be mistaken but wouldn't using the the 2nd method result in a poorer quality syringe since all of the spores will be in 1 10ml syringe instead of 5+?
Thanks for any input

Yes, most people would agree. You can take that dense syringe and dilute it down, though.

How does one safely dilute a spore syringe?
And I was also wondering if instead of injection 10ccs of sterile water into the bag to make the print, couldn't I use a 20cc or 30cc syringe instead? Would that work as a solution to the dilution?

Sure you could use a bigger syringe- though they are harder to shoot up jars with.
One way to dilute a syringe would be to prepare a jar of sterile water with an injection port, and just shoot it in there. 90 mL of water plus 10 from the syringe = ten spore syringes.
There are Luer-to-Luer transfer devices, they let you attach two syringes to each other. Then you can put the stuff in 30 or 60 mL syringes, and draw off 10 when you want it. But the jar thing you can do yourself without any special tools.

I use my spores purely for LC, so I wouldn't have to fumble around with a cumbersome syringe trying to inoculate jars.
Your other suggestion seems fun too, but thats alot of 10cc syringes.
I think I'll just go for the mammoth syringe and hope for the best.
