For an 1280 you can fill  virgin empty carts only six times before 
your 4 oz bottles run out. Each chamber holds 18 ml of ink, the 
complete set of hextone MIS VM ink held in each set of carts would 
then be $14.

Filling carts yourself cuts MIS price of around $52/ set of 1280 carts 
roughly in half.
