Hi Richard,

I use the cartriges from MIS and plan to do my own refilling as it 
costs much less than replacing the whole cartridge when it runs 
empty. One $16 4 ounce bottle replaces the color of ink about 12-16 
times, making it about $1.00 per color per refill or $5.00 per 
cartridge refill. I don't know if CIS needs hardware modification, 
just a table or space beside the printer and on the same level as the 
printer to put a box or something to hold the bottles of ink. The 
tubing is run from the bottles and attached to some kind of tubing 
holder attachment to keep them from flopping around inside the 
printer cavity. If you get the cartridges, be sure to get the chip 
ink resetter device so you can refill them and use the same 
cartridges over and over again. One thing I have heard about 
refilling is to keep in mind the cartridges will collect ink foam and 
air bubbles that will make it look like you have a clogged nozzle. 
The solution to that is to use a syringe and an attachment that MIS 
sells and suck out the ink foam. The foam  can be put back into its 
same ink bottle it came out of and used as ink again. The bubble just 
bursts and leaves behind the same ink.
