Personally, i used candida replacement cartridges from the Stationay Warehouse twice and burnt out or blocked the print head both times at $140 a throw in my old epson printer so i don't use them no more. If the hp has it's printhead in the cartridge what have you got to lose? At worst it'll only cost you the replacement cartridge. Have a go.	Guest (0)

So I still haven't done a refill. I would recommend going to someone who has a business of refilling cartridges, unless you are going to do it often enough to become an expert. You've noticed the 'Razor' pricing: 'Sell the razor at a loss, and sell the special blades forever'.	Guest (0)

However, life seems to short to be shagging around with newspapers and rubber gloves (not my scene, anyway). I have had an OfficeJet for two years and am still on the original cartridge. Print less. I use professional labs for photos and everything else comes out the 'laser' (apologies to Dr Evil). It really sucks if it is cheap to buy a whole printer than a cartridge. I think we should buy the printers then put empty cartridges in them and sell them second hand. Anyway, had to get that off my chest. robo.	Guest (0)

Recommend you get a kit designed for your cartridge, the ink appears to vary with cartrige types. It's a messy process so use lots of newspaper and paper hankies. www.alotofthings.com has lots of tips about clearing blocked jets and refilling the new 'chip' cartridges.	Guest (0)
