I have never tried refilling an ink cartridge, and don't know how to 
begin.  Are there instructions somewhere?  And when you say "Set yourself 
up with three cartridges, number then 1,2,3," do you mean my existing 
(printer original) cartridges (which presumeably contain these chips)?

Thank you for your help,
Erif Thunen.
