I can't tell how epson fill it but i know a third-party vendor who
manufacture Epson cartridges in Canada.  They buy large quantity of
assembled empty cartridges.  Similar to the empty cartridges available from
a few internet reseller.  The put the cartridges on a special machine.  The
machine does the vaccum from the hole on the top of the cartridge.  Then it
inject a specific amont of ink.

Such machine is available to anyone, a company in TX if a remember
manufacture such a machine call the Ultra-Fill 950 or 300.  Cost is arround
10,000$US
