I've been meaning to try this for quite a while. Can I get some more detail
on this?

1) On inkjetart.com, I don't see any reference to FS, VM, etc. They don't
seem to mention any choice of variations just the six densities. What am I
missing?

2) Where do you get the chip resetter?

3) What kind of syringe do you need to load the carts? Do you have to clean
it between loading each shade?

4) Is there a trick to changing chips, or do they just pop in and out?

5) Anything else non-obvious about doing this?
