That just means that the next round of Epson printers will be really 
refill unfriendly. The carts for the C86 (cx6600) are not impossible 
to refill, just not what I would call simple. I haven't been able to 
get any other versions to check, but imagine that they will be 
similar. If the carts from the 2400 or similar to the c86, then 
refilling them with Epson ink from the 4800 would be a pretty easy 
task, once you build a machine to do the messy parts. It's cleaning 
out the old Epson ink to make room for the new third party ink that 
is the real big problem!
