Based on Bob's good recommendations, I've occasionally needed to get carts from InkJetCart.US and have always been happy with them. At http://store.inkjetcarts.us/epson-pro-3880-refillable-cart-systems-p5529.aspx they do have empty 3880 carts -- about $280 for the set. The 3800 carts are here: http://store.inkjetcarts.us/epson-pro-3800-refillable-cart-systems-p4599.aspx for $250. Based on what we've heard, and assuming these carts work well, it looks like the 3800 and 3880 should make excellent Eboni-6 and Eboni-6 + cool ink (e.g., HP) printers. I do not, however, have any profiles made specifically for these printers. On the other hand, I suspect my 7800 profiles will port to this class of printer with not too much work. It might be useful to compare ink limit settings between the two printer types at some point. For many of the wide format printers I don't see empty carts. I have had good luck with MIS empties for my 4000 and 7800, and they are somewhat cheaper than the InkJetCarts' prices.
