For best results, your ink should be refilled before cartridge is completely empty. This will avoid any residual ink from drying out inside chamber. Also, before placing cartridge back into printer, let it stand upright for a few minutes. This is because when refilling cartridge, there is a build-up of internal pressure that will stabilize on its own simply by letting it sit for awhile. It is ink drip from print head that stabilizes pressure. When injecting ink into cartridge, do it slowly to keep air bubbles from forming. Any air bubbles can keep ink from reaching print head. The cartridge can usually be refilled several times before throwing it away.
If you are still not convinced that refilling your inkjet cartridge is simple and easy, take a look at advantages it offers. Many may think that quality of ink will decrease but ink used in ink refill kits is same quality used by original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The cost of a single cartridge of ink is sometimes more expensive than printer itself! By using an ink refill kit, you can save up to 70% of cost of buying a new inkjet cartridge. Not only will you save money, but with inkjet refill kit, you?ll also avoid headache of buying a new cartridge every time yours is empty. Massive amounts of plastic and metals are dumped into landfills every year. You will also be helping environment by purchasing an inkjet refill kit by reducing amount of solid waste.
Once you?ve bought printer, it?s unlikely you are going to replace it every year with a new one. The printer manufacturers know that for printer to function, you need ink. It is same with a flashlight; it needs a battery to operate, just like a car needs gas in order to run. Therefore, company charges consumers high prices for ink because they know that is what we are going to buy. Or will we?
