I mostly print color, which is why I've waited for carts to be available.
One set would probably last me quite a while. So I doubt I'll get into the
curve building hobby.

But just out of curiosity, is it possible to buy the MIS 1280 spongeless
carts and replace the chips with ones yanked from used Epson 2000P carts?
