Epson and Canon haverepparttar lowest operating temperatures whereas HP and Lexmark haverepparttar 107195 highest. These print head fire at many thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using an ink that is not designed to withstand temperatures of this magnitude then you are likely to run into problems.

Then you haverepparttar 107196 standard grade vs.repparttar 107197 hi grade black ink. The standard grade may print a lot grayer thanrepparttar 107198 hi grade which we call "Ultra Black". This is mostly prominent in pigmented black inks. If your black print looks a little onrepparttar 107199 gray side you might want to upgrade torepparttar 107200 Ultra Black ink.

Also there is photo black. Photo black inks are always dye based since pigmented inks do not mix well withrepparttar 107201 dye based colors. These inks are formulated to "get along" with their color counterparts forrepparttar 107202 best results in photos.

So now you are all black ink experts. After reading this is anybody motivated to buy one of those universal kits? I shutter to think what their budget for lawsuits is. :-)

Can My Cartridge Be Refilled?

Findingrepparttar right place to drill a cartridge may take some trial and error. If you proceed logically you should get itrepparttar 107194 first time. For instance if a cartridge has two chambers, one with a sponge and one without, drill inrepparttar 107195 reservoir side, notrepparttar 107196 sponge side. In a multi-chamber cartridge with several colors drill overrepparttar 107197 place where you suspectrepparttar 107198 first color is and use a toothpick to samplerepparttar 107199 color. The chambers will usually have some kind of dimple or air hole directly over each chamber.

Start by injecting a small amount as a test, like 2cc or 3cc for color cartridges and 8cc - 10cc for black cartridges. You can add more ifrepparttar 107200 test is successful. Try to avoid overfillingrepparttar 107201 cartridge to avoid cross chamber contamination.

Take notes in case you killrepparttar 107202 cartridge somehow. Your next attempt won't be possible until you buy another set of cartridges and use them up. If you're like me I won't remember what I did in a few weeks. (or days for that matter, that's scary!)
