Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Sarah and Paul for your responses.
 
OK, now I've got my Epson 1400 printer working with the Eboni 6 inkset  and 
I'm already getting gorgeous prints. Here are a few more beginner  questions:
 
1) I have decided to continue working with Eboni 6. I bought one pre-filled  
cartridge set from MIS and now would like to order either the 4oz or 1 pint  
bottles of each ink. About how many cartridge refills would I get from the 4oz  
size? 
 
2) Can the cartridges I now have in the printer be refilled, or do I need  to 
order new "refillable" carts from MIS?
 
3) Obviously I'll need a syrynge and needle to refill cartridges -  
specifically which of each on the MIS site do I need to order?
 
4) Do I need a Chip Resetter? If so, any particular one or are  they all the 
same?
 
5) Are there any good illustrated online tutorials on Cartridge refilling -  
suited as much as possible to my particular situation - that anyone can direct 
 me to?
 
Again, thanks for any help.

Rob, don't feel bad....I did the same thing with the MIS carts for my  r1800. 
Felt a little 
chagrined but mostly just relieved that the solution  was so simple.

welcome, and best of luck with your  set-up!
