RS> My experiences have been that you have to buy
RS>a quality refill kit with the correct ink for
RS>your particular cartridge(s).

RS> I have refilled my own HP cartridges 3 times
RS>without a problem and my Lexmark twice. We
RS>frequently refill HP cartridges at work, too.

RS> I have had to soak the cartridges when I let
RS>them sit too long without ink. Never let them
RS>sit without ink! Refill early.

RS> The ink is not just for marking the paper; it
RS>also keeps the ink jets cool. They operate by
RS>super-heating the ink so that it "explodes"
RS>onto the paper. Without ink, they can quickly
RS>die.

RS> Lexmark and HP take very different inks. I'm
RS>surprised that people are selling "universal"
RS>refill kits because I ruined an HP cartridge
RS>by putting Lexmark ink into it. I bought a new
RS>HP cartridge and have been refilling it ever
RS>since.

Which brand of refill ink do you use for the HPs please?

Ciao, Ack.
