I have a HP Officejet 5510 All-in-One (the whole Scanner, Printer, Faxer, Copier) and i decided to try ink refills... Has anyone used them before, and do u like them, and would u go continue to refill over than buying new cartleges...

Sorry 'bout the bad spellin'

They work OK, but squeeze slowly and don't refill over your wifes (or moms) carpet.

Learned that one the hard way Ouch

That doesn't sound too good... but thank god i have hard wood flooring... but i regret that in the morning with the cold feet i get... lol... I used it 2nite, I would strongly recommend Black refills... but when it comes to COLOR leave it alone and go buy a cartlegde...

B)

I do a lot of printing text and photos with my HP. I refill my cartridges both color and black. They can be filled about 4 or 5 times before the data strips short out,then you must buy new ones. This saves some $$$

@ Dirtwarrior:

What printer do u use? On my officejet i have to reset the actual ink cartledge... want me to upload the diagram? I have to do it before my printer will actually read the cartiledge is full... What a bummer....

:angrym:

an old psc 500c---printer copier scanner

@ Dirtwarrior:

Do u know what the Ink cartidges number is? My ink is Black (56) and Color (57) well ain't i lucky?)

only refill them once then replace it, this is b/c on the bottom of the cartridge where the ink comes out, the plastic kinda deteriorates and u dont get as clear of pictures, u can get smudges

I am at work now but when I get home I will tell you #. Refill kits are not created equal the ones marked universal are crap. I will send you the web site of the 1 I use. This 1 is complete some cartridge uses plastic needles because of diaphram in it, some uses metal needles, some you have to create a vacume to contain the ink, and some are vented. Each 1 is different.

u work late at night... ight... my cartleges are vented... I used Nu.kote... that is how they spelled...

Or... if you want to save money on ink, get a laser printer. If you print out a lot of documents, it's really a good investment. A little steep initially (~$200 CAD), but the price per page is far lower than that of an inkjet printer.

I only use my inkjet printer for printing out pictures and images, and I haven't had to replace the cartridges yet. My original toner cartridge that came with my Samsung ML-1740 has printed about 1500 pages so far, and hasn't shown any signs of letting up yet. $20 refills on eBay for 7000 pages =

I just spent $200 on a officejet 5510.. i don't think im gonna get a laser... but i do i'll get a color...
