Looking for some advice, please…
I am finally getting to the point where I need to order more ink for my 1500w. Having read through the posts here – many thanks to all for them – it seems to me that, taking into account price, relative stability and ease of use, the best inks for my purposes are Precision Colors EV6. (Though it’s a pity there isn’t a UK supplier for them. Or is there?)
My main query is about the cartridges, as I’ve no experience of using refillable. They all come with auto-reset chips, but can they be taken out and reset at any time, or only when they are reporting empty? I want to avoid the domino effect where when a cartridge is replaced, they all go through a cleaning cycle, making another empty, and so on… ideally, I’d like to take them all out, top them all up, and put them back in one go. Can that be done?
I’m asking because, so far, I’ve used nearly twice as much light magenta and light cyan than the other colours, for some reason. Or would I need a chip resetter?
I was thinking about getting the refillable cartridges from Aliexpress, where they are very inexpensive. (I notice that a couple of sellers also have chip resetters, and one would hope that their resetters would work with their cartridges!)
As I’ve never used Aliexpress, has anyone bought cartridges from there? If so, were they satisfactory?
Grateful for any help!

, though I appreciate he's probably enjoying a well-deserved Christmas break
