View Full Version : Lovin' these print cartridge refills.

<p>I feel like this was already talked about, but my search of the board came up empty.&nbsp; </p><p>Awhile back I got one of those refill kits for ink cartridges.&nbsp; I was low on funds and printing A LOT of CD labels for Unhallowed.&nbsp; I just couldn't drop anymore money on new cartridges, so I decided to try these things.&nbsp; For like 15 bucks you get a blue, yellow and red bottle of ink, a cleaning solution if your cartridge is clogged and a pointless syringe to inject the ink.&nbsp; The black one has 3 bottles of black and the cleaning solution.&nbsp; But since the black only holds black, you end up using most of one bottle for one refill.</p><p>The ONLY downside is you have to open the cartridge yourself, and you'll probably get ink on your fingers.&nbsp; But for me, the plus has been 2 refills already for just 15 bucks and at least one more to go.&nbsp; My Lexmark cartridges are like 40 bucks for color and 25 to 30 for black.&nbsp; So each kit will end up saving me a lot of money.</p><p>My BIG CONCERN was the print quality, but it seems to me the cartridges work fine.&nbsp; Same print quality.&nbsp; Same ink spread.&nbsp; Same strength of the color on the paper.&nbsp; No problems with print head jams or anything like that.&nbsp; So for me, except for having to open my cartridges and getting a little ink on my fingers, everything about the kids has been a positive.</p><p>Anyone else?&nbsp; Any bad stuff?&nbsp; </p>

I refilled a cartridge 4 or 5 times, and the last time something happened, and ink linked out of the print cartridge all over the inside and pretty much killed the printer.&nbsp; It could have been a coincidence, but I'd still suggest not to refill the same cartridge too may times.

I was thinking that once the kit was used up, I'd get a new cartridge.

<p>I've been useing a nifty device for my HP Photosmart cartridges. You poke holes in the cartridge, slip into this device that has the 3 colors below, turn the device over, and wait about 15 minutes. It works great!</p><p>The only problem is I got it at Wal Mart, and they don't have it any more. I've checked the device and paperwork and can't find the name of it, so I have no way to search for it on the internet. Does this thing sound familiar to anyone else?</p><p>Another annoying problem is the damn printer won't reset the color levels when you refill a cartridge. The only way you know if you're running out of ink, is when the prints start looking bad.</p>

<p>I used it once, and like Mikeyboy I killed my printer. </p><p>Now I get the Staples brand or the 2 pack at Costco. </p><p>Moe, ever check out the online deals? Google it, theres alot out there. </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>the staples' brand works great for me, also see if you can adjust the level of the inked used in the printing (most HP printers allow) ...</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>if you print via file/print, there's usually an option for printer setup which can allow for some tweaking ... i always print at like 75% and the quality never seems off ...</p><p>but, if you working on a huge project, by the time you learn the right tweak, it might not be so cost/time effective ...</p>

<p>I got that beat big time. I coincidentally enough have the same printer at home as I do at work.</p><p>I haven't paid for ink in over 2 years. Actually I did buy a photo cartridge for&nbsp;a new multi-function printer I bought a few weeks ago, but luckily the printer uses the exact same cartridges.</p>

<p>There's a place in Hoboken that does this. The ironic thing is I could buy a whole new printer for wha it costs to reolace the cartidges. I may try it once or twice. </p><img src="http://atamichimpo.50megs.com/images/alicebuckysig.jpg" border="0" /> &quot;We sound just like Cheap Trick only the guitars are louder,&quot; - Kurt Cobain &quot;I prefer to listen to Cheap Trick.&quot; -Homer Simpson
