Refilling Ink Cartridges

RE: Refilling Ink Cartridges Post by 1burrell (25) | (03/15/2008) Profile | Contact I happened to be in a town (other then my own) in November of 2007. We don't have a Staples in my hometown so I decided to visit theirs'. After shopping and going up to pay for my purchases, I noticed they had an ink cartridge refill station. I asked how much it cost to refill a Brother ink cartridge. The sales person informed me that they can ONLY refill HP ink cartridges, as they were threatened with lawsuits from ALL other brand names if they DID NOT cease filling them. What a PATHETICALLY GREEDY country the 'good ole USA' has become. Everybody has their hands out to file lawsuits constantly!!! Fill you own if you can and the devil with the greedy ones!!!!

My husband is a wiz at it - but he still can't do our HP. Canons and Lexmarks are good in this respect from our experience - and older printers are easier to refill - because they have put booby traps in the newer cartridges to make them harder to refill! It's worth a few bucks to try - FYI - printers are terribly cheap (relatively) these days - because they make $ on the CARTRIDGES - not the printers!

Check your warranty to make sure you aren't going to end having to buy a new machine if the ink does any damage. If you pay for service on your printers (e.g. a company machine) then you may be voiding the service contract as well. Too many of the refill systems end up damging the machiens and printheads, so lots of companies now will include coverage for this kind of damage in their warranty.
