Thanks. I missed those. I only found the normal spongeless 
refillables. They are labeled "no chips" but they're no 9500 chips in 
the chip area. However, reading a bit between the lines, it looks 
like the 9500 cartridges have no chips at all.... Right?

If they're no chips involved, that should work indeed. Then I could 
consider indeed to go with the color cartridges that come with the 
printer. What would I need to rinse and use as cleaning fluid?

Or are these funnel cartridges much handier to fill? Looks like it...

I first have to get a decent price for it and it should be in 
sufficiently good condition ;-) But thanks!

Frankly, I'm still a bit in doubt between C6 and 4K+. Aside from the 
obvious differences of low cost and pure carbon longevity (C6) vs 
toning and gloss capability (4K+), would you consider the shear print 
quality on a 7500/9500 of C6 noticably superior to that of 4K+?
