Ross,

There is a good description for filling the 3000 carts on the MIS website
at:

While it is not necessary to run the Epson inks, it is generally recommended
to set up a new or refurb printer with the original cartridges first simply
to confirm that everything is in working order. That way if there is
something wrong you will have less trouble or issues returning it.

Welcome aboard and don't hesitate to keep on asking questions as they come
to you.

When you get your D60 let us know how you like it as a front end to a B&W
