I have OEM color carts there. That way, in case I have trouble with those, I can run out, bite the bullet, and buy an Epson color cart. But that is rare, and it was cheaper than buying MIS spongeless for those slots. I may do that eventually, it would be handy to see the levels of the cleaning fluid, as they have transparent sides.
