On my 1270, when you raise the top, there is a big yellow button above
the other controls that aren't covered by the cover. Push the button and
the cartridges move into position for changing. I have never tried a
mid-cartridge change and don't know what consequences there may be. The
cartridges have a microchip that reports remaining ink to the printer
(based on no. of squirts used) and I don't know if it will be confused
by such a process. There is a 3rd party program for PCs (at least most
of them) that can be used to reset and otherwise manipulate the chips.
So if you do confuse the chips, someone with a PC will have to fix it.
Sure you aren't better off just using their ink and either replacing the
carts if they run dry or just giving them the new ones when you are done?

Anyone know how to go about changing the cartridges on a big Epson?
Borrowed my school's 1290 for the hols and promised I'd use my own
carts of course. I normally use a Canon S900 which offers them up
every time you open the lid but this big beast is much more coy about
it - if the chip doesn't say empty, it don't wanna. Is there a
workaround to this? (Note - if suggesting software - I'm on a Mac).
