If they could have pointed me to a reseller that had 4 ounce bottles,
I might have bought them. Based on what the say it would cost, it
would be about $25 and I would have gone for that. Heck if they could
have pointed me to pre-filled carts with this ink I might have gone
for that too.

I also ordered some cheapo refillable carts last night for the
testing. I decided that washing out the CIS for each ink was going to
be too much work. Hopefully they work well since the set of 6 with a
supposed anti-UV dye ink was only $25. Since I don't know anything
about the included ink, I'll just wash them out to use with the ink
that I know about. I went with the cheap ones because I didn't feel
like spending another $60+ on carts (from MIS) that will only be used
for a short time.

If these carts work, I'll post details for the other people who are
using the same carts. If they are junk I'll also post that result so
no one wastes their money.
