No, they are chipped. Look much more like the 9600 carts but more 
complicated, and they are 500 ml. MIS chip resetter works on the carts.

No, the carts are at a much lower level than the heads so there's an 
extra air pump in the printer to pressurize an extra chamber around the 
ink bag in the cart to get the ink to the heads. There are also extra 
electrical valves on the cart slots to prevent flow back. The carts have 
also more complicated valves for that purpose. They can't be refilled 
without a kind of cataract operation on the valve system but when that's 
done they are fine for refilling. With 500 ml per cart and easy 
refilling plus the complicated inkline construction I do not see any 
reason to go for a CIS.
