My Epson 9000 CIS systems had that seven years ago. Bottles 
directly connected to the internal ss ink lines inside. 
Still in use at some places. Only possible on wide format 
models where the carts are not on the head carriage. But for 
existing Epson wide format models I do not see a problem in 
general as ink will be available and there are enough chip 
resetters around up to the 9800 model. Refilling and 
resetting is easy enough. No need clone carts or a special CIS.
