I saw a diagram of an Epson cartridge online somewhere - it was the most 
convoluted bunch of ink and air passages that you could possible 
imagine.  Speculation was that it was designed in part to be virtually 
impossible to refill.  Epson's business model is reportedly based on 
giving away printers and making a fortune on ink cartridges.  If this is 
so, you would expect them to make a major design effort on their 
cartridges to prevent refilling.

There are third party vendors who sell refillable cartridges and inks 
(and chip resetters - the cartridges have chips that record ink usage 
and shut the printer down when the cartridge gets low, so you have to 
reset the chips to "full" after you refill them in order for the printer 
to work again) to go with them.  If your church uses enough ink to 
justify the effort of refilling, that would probably be the way to go.

Cheers,
Kip
