Filled carts here:

Empty cart found here:
http://www.inksupply.com/epson_cartridges.cfm
SLC-T0548-EC is R800 MK EMPTY CARTRIDGE W/CHIP

Note- these carts are the same as the ones you (and I) use in the R220
so if you have extra carts lying around you can fill them with Eboni,
pop on a R800/1800 chip and use them.

I've had a bit of trouble getting the MIS ones to fit properly in the
R1800, but with a bit of wiggling got it to close right.

I get some pretty ugly tonal transitions using BO in my R220 so I
prefer the full UT-R2 set.  I like the look of Eboni, though.  I've
yet to experiment with my R1800 but once I get a few minutes I'll try
the 3MK approach.
