It's easy.

I assume they are the same carts I fill all the time.  If there is a stopper
in the top of the reservoir, that is where you fill it.  I use a jeweler's
(very small) screwdriver to pry out the stopper.  

MIS's instructions are here:  http://www.inksupply.com/c86_slc_refill.cfm

That picture is different than the half sponge-filled, half sponge-less
reservoir carts I use, but the basic refill instructions are the same.

I usually do not have to prime the cart when re-filling.  It's the initial
fill that requires that.

If you're using all warm ink, one 4 oz. bottle and one syringe (with needle)
will do.  (You might want a bottle of Eboni while you're at it.)  Of course,
you'll need a resetter for the chip.  As soon as one cart is nearly empty,
pull them all and refill all at once.

You'll get a little ink you your hands, but it's no big deal.  Work on an
easily-washable surface, near a sink and with paper towels handy.

Good luck.
