I think the carts MIS will ship will be refillable.  Wait and be 
sure.  There should be a removable stopper in the top of the 
reservoir.  Sometimes this is flush with the top and a jeweler's 
screwdriver is needed to slide down beside it and pry it out.

Assuming this, you need an $18 bottle of Eboni. Eboni is the same for 
all MIS inksets.  http://www.inksupply.com/eb6.cfm is one page that 
has it.  You need a chip resetter: 
http://inksupply.com/epson_inkjet_cartridge_chip_resetter.cfm 
and a syringe with a blunt needle.  
See http://inksupply.com/accessory.cfm?action=find&sub_cat=1 for 
accessories, in general.

When the printer tells you the carts are about empty, remove them, 
fill all three reservoirs with Eboni, using the 10 cc syringe and the 
bottle of Eboni, reset the chips, and re-install the cart.  That's 
about it.  Very easy.  Expect to get some ink on your hands and do 
this where ink will not stain anything.  Clean the syringe and set it 
aside for next time.
