I recommend you agitate the Eboni-6 bottles before refilling.  Eboni-6 settles faster than most inksets when in those bottles.  The 1400 printer agitates the inks continuously when printing.  So, settlement is not a significant issue for desktop printers.  However, for bulk ink bottles and wide format printers, you'll have trouble with consistency if you don't agitate the inks before using.
