I am running an Epson 1430 with new MIS cartridges, MIS ink configured as Eboni 4 + as per Paul Rorak.  I am making progress but find cartridge maintenance cumbersome.  I think I read recently that Paul tops off all of his cartridges once one is designated needing refilling. Am I imagining this?  If not will the chips reset for the partially full cartridges if I just top them off?  Will the ink levels work as if they were all new full cartridges.  Thanks
