  Good Morning MIKE..
  You don't need a re-setter with these chips..They are "auto-resetting"...Also, Im not exactly sure if their pre-filled carts are re-fillable..They probably are, but it's best to confirm that with MIS..

  Ok, I see.

  *nod* It seems like the best bet is to get a set of pre-filled carts, a
  set of bottled inks, and a couple sets of syringe+needle+adapter. I
  guess there's not much reason not to throw in a set of refill-friendly
  carts and a resetter, too.

  Great, thanks for the advice!

  *nod* A good observation. I'll try to be scrupulous :)

  From the OCP website, it seems the 1400 inks are still under
  development. But I'll keep it in mind if I find I want to switch from
  the MIS inks.
