Honestly it depends Branded companys like epson hp canon etc all have their inks 'patented' so 3rd party companies cannot use the same formula and this is where the problem begins. Chopping and changing between brands of ink WILL lead to some form of coagulation blocking the heads and the pumps that produce the even ink flow that we expect. And as you know it then becomes quickly uneconomic to repair these units. so we buy a new and proceed to continue down the same path and wonder why they dont last. Have you ever wondered why after using 3rd party inks for 6 months and then decide to pay extra for the real thing for a special project only to find the output is utter crap? and then moan when it cost $100 to put it right. My advice is thus. If you decide to go the 3rd party way. STICK TO ONE BRAND. and that brand only. Then all will be well. Dont chop and change. Otherwise Ill see you at my place of business. Printer in hand and when you get the bill I will say 'told you so' ==Orac==	Guest (0)

Also some of the refillers are using these same Cheap Chinese Inks...Stay with Korean Types.	Guest (0)

41721	2002-04-16 23:00:00	Dear JM: I would suggest that you try Inktec's refilling system...It is awesome! Easy to use and pretty much Dummy Proof..(not suggesting anything)...The technology in tha last 5 yrs. has changed drastically and if your still not willing to try than the loss will be yours. HP cartridges are running as you must know $80.00 plus for all the cartridges you named and refilling is the ONLY way to go...Look into NZSearch.co.nz and you'll find the source for Intec products...

41723	2002-04-16 23:34:00	Dear Mike: With the 930C Colour cartridge there are alot of little things you need to know to successfully refill them...Air flow into the cartridge is a major and when you poke out the plug to refill it it must get air after you put the ink in..but not too much either...I would suggest that you take or send your cartridge to a professional refiller to have it refilled next time, but if you aren't willing to do that...Inktec refill kits are the only way to go..The inks are a perfect colour match to the originals and if you put the ink into the cartridge VERY SLOWLY it will not mix in the printhead and will work great! the refilling kit for the C6578 cartridge which you have has a tool for equalising the air and bringing the ink gently into the printhead to insure good results...Those kits can be purchased from Refill Inc. In Auckland or at their website www.refill.co.nz Regards; RP	Guest (0)
41724	2002-04-16 23:40:00	Dear John B: Give the Inktec Brand kits a try...There is no shipping costs when ordered from Refill Inc.Ltd. in Auckland and the cost for the kit is $26.00 inc. GST and shipping to your door! All the necessary supplies are there along with enough ink for 2 refills. and you won't have to do all the things that you have discribed in your letter...
