Digital BW, The Print

I was wondering if there are any differences between third-party cartridges for Epson 1400. I'm assuming they are pretty similar in terms of filling up but are they different in terms of problems with the printer.  I found the instuctions on the inksupply.com website a bit unclear,
especially with respect to the reset chip. The ones from inkjetmall seem better and they do not seem to have any reset chip? 

I am planning to fill the cartridges with Eboni-6.

Thanks
