Hi All-
I new here. Recently, I bought a Epson CX8400. I was horrified when it was time to buy ink and saw that I could not by 3rd party ink carts with chips in them (at least that's what I found at the time). So I bought a CISS System (continuous ink system). It did not work great from the start and recently failed all together and I also had lots of issues with the heads clogging.
So I'm now in the market for a new printer again. So what I'm looking for is a new ink jet that can still take 3rd party carts. I prefer not to refill carts or mess with carts (swapping or resetting chips, drilling carts, etc, etc). I just want to buy a nice printer and buy high quality, 3rd party carts and replace them as needed. So what printer models and 3rd party ink fits my requirements? Thanks SO much!

Edit - Strickly on the issue of carts, I am not 100% against having to refill carts, but would prefer to just buy 3rd party high-quality replacements and discpose of them (yes, I'm lazy ;D ).
