The EB6 is prefilled into refillable carts. 
But beware - at least a couple of us have ordered prefilled EB6
carts only to find that they were incorrectly filled - instead of 
6 different densities of eboni, they had two different tones (warmtone
and cooltone). So when you buy the bulk EB6 the inks will be
different. 4 oz. is quite a lot and I suggest you start there.

Here are the MIS part numbers:
 MIS-NEEDLE
 MIS-SYRINGE
 MIS-BADP   (this is the bottom fill adapter, for drawing bubbles out
of the exit port if needed)

No, the 1400's cartridges have auto-reset chips. They reset when both
the ink level (as known to the chip - not the actual level!) is low
enough -and- the machine is turned off or the carts removed.

Go to inksupply.com -> Refill kits -> Refill instructions -> Refilling
Epson R260, R380, RX580 Series Cartridges (these are the same basic
type as the 1400's)
