Anyone know anything about it?

I've ran out of ink for my printer (conveniantly just as the semester starts again) and went onto the internet to see how much replacements will cost, and it is a bit more than I want to spend.

I've heard of people doing refills though, anyone know anything about it? Do you need a special type of cartridge or will any suffice? Is it cheaper/better?

Opinions please.

I did hear that its not alot cheaper and not great if you want photo quality prints. Dont know ho reliable my source is tho.

Well it's going to cost me £30 to replace them, which just seems quite a lot, so if it's even a bit cheaper then I'd be happy.

Quality doesn't need to be great.

Try it then, i think it can be any old cartridge you can use.

That sentence doesnt seem right....

May try it just so I know.

It's messy and a massive PITA.

Hmm, that kind of sucks.

It's frustrating how much ink costs, I'm genuinely thinking it may be cheaper to just use the printers at the uni (6p per page) than replacing the ink and having to buy paper.

Would be a hassle going out of my way, but if it's cheaper it's cheaper.

Inkjet printers are worthless.

Laser is the answer.

I do all my printing at work

yes, I needed three cartridges the other day, and bought a couple extras, and I could of got a laser printer for that price. The ink in the color cartridges evaporates, even if you don't use color printing. Of course, you can print if any of the cartridges are empty. Bah, I'm about ready to take other actions of some type too. Perhaps a laser printer. Hubby keeps wanting me/us to do refills, but I have heard too much about them being messy, or leaking.
imho

You have to use needle,syringe type things to refill through the hole of your ink cartridge.It makes a horrible mess,it wastes alot of ink and I saw an article in a magazine that said that it clogs up the heads of your printer.
I would never do it again-and I ain't got much money either.
Answer question?

Someone once told me to be careful of buying inexpensive printers because the ink cartridges may be unreasonably expensive. The technician told me to check the price of the printer supplies before I made a final decision. I've seen that happen on one of the large HP printers.
