Hi Arthur. I am using Epson ink carts which I had used until empty (mostly) and then refilled with MIS (Image Specialist) ink after resetting the cartridge chip with a "resetter". I saved or I think actually received some empty carts (a full set) from an internet friend and then filled these with cleaning or flushing fluid also purchased from MIS. However, that is to make up a full set and you were asking after one cart. From the MIS site: http://www.inksupply.com/product-details.cfm?pn=CC-T5436 is the URL for a " *7600/4000 LT MAG CLEANING CART" *already filled with cleaning fluid. Currently listed at $24.00 With the above cart you shouldn't need a chip resetter device but if you go the route I did you will. The resetter will reset to "full" the normal Epson cart chip when the original cartridge is nearly empty. Directions are on the inksupply website in any case. Overfilling an ink cart is not for the faint hearted or the unluck*y *and I don't suggest you go this route, I regret mentioning this as the possibility for filling parts of your printer with ink which are not supposed to be so, is high. Good luck. I have survived some really stubborn clogs with my 4000 and know how frustrating and worrisome it can be. Knock on wood, since switching back to Macs and running a daily purge print I have not had a clog (got to be more a matter of luck but nice).
