I use Eboni in a 260 on a daily basis.  It works fine.  The 265 carts 
are probably the same, but the chips are probably different.  As long 
as you have an empty and clean cart that fits and has the right chip, 
you should be able to refill with Eboni.  Don't try to refill a cart 
that has residual ink in it.  There could be incompatibilities.  So, if 
you can buy an empty, new refillable cart for the 265, that's the 
safest way to go.

Additionally, when the auto-reset chips from, for exmaple, MIS are used 
on only some of the carts, and OEM Epson chips are on the others, the 
system detects the difference and will not print.  So, the chips have 
to be of the same type on all carts.  In that respect, I also use MIS 
color pigments in the 260 in refillable carts.
