I think Epson has changed the chip software on their carts as right insertion isn't working with the latest Epson color carts now. No reason to buy Epson color carts anymore. I been using an off brand for the black.

With the 1270 you can run the carts dry. You remove the top shell of the printer. (I have both of my 1270 printers indefinitely unshelled). When you need a new cart you put it in normally which is on the left side. Then you click finish and the cart moves back to the right and the Epson status monitor indicates the color cart is completely full. Then you put in the old cart on the right side and you are ready to print.
Maybe you can do the same with the CX9400.  The reason it runs out of ink is that Epson printers every time you turn it on or at some set interval Epson carts do a little charging which loses some ink of all colors.

Speaking of Epson printers, I have a CX9400 fax, and the absurdly expensive color ink cartridges run out and the printer shuts down even when I have not printed any photos.  I'm convinced this is not due to evaporation, but rather to the greedy marketing geniuses who have figured out a way of FORCING people to buy new cartridges regularly, even though there's likely ink remaining.  
 
Is there any way to over-ride the program that shuts down the printer when one of the cartridges "runs out" of ink?    Is there any way to fix it so that I can use just the black ink to print Word Documents, and thus save money?
