Take a look at www.inksupply.com for "MIS" inks (Eboni) and 
www.inkjetmall.com for Piezography K7. If you plan to print BO only 
the Piezography K7 MPS selenium black might have an advantage because 
it goes on both matte and glossy papers. This is not possible with 
Eboni as far as I know - check it.

It might be a little difficult to get empty carts made for refilling 
from USA (Inksupply) because of some legal issues Epson is running. 
Somebody else have to help find other sources for empty refillable 
carts.
