Digital BW, The Print

I need to read up on Mr. Roark's products.  The little bit I found 
confused my newbie brain.  There seem to be so many approaches to the 
problem.
Are you refilling your carts yourself?  If I can't go with a CIS and 
maintain the versatility I want, I may want to do refills.  Ink costs 
so dang much more than printers....
