I'm following this thread with great interest as I'm about to install my new 4800 with MIS cartridges, so no experience with this setup yet. But experience with other refillable cartridges confirms that one usually cannot mix OEM and and non-OEM chips. So if you want to use a mix of cartriges I could imagine that the only way to do it is to replace the chips on the Epson cartridges with the non-OEM ones .....
