"chipped cartridges"
Unless I'm mistaken Inkjet Mall do not sell the Epson chips, only control chips which reset the underlying Epson chips to empty. If I am mistaken I have wasted a lot of time and energy over the last few years foraging for used Epson cartridges.
So if I'm not mistaken then you have to find a set of Epson chips and if you place an M chip under a VM control chip into the printer you could burn it and I think possibly the printer slot as well.
But as someone else has suggested you should verify this on the peizography forum.
Good luck
