Those of us trying to reduce office expenses have probably thought about refilling ink cartridges at one point or another. I actually tried this approach a while ago, and had mixed results. In this article, I will discuss my experience. Also, I will be providing a link to a 4inkjets coupon code, which will allow you to buy ink online at a discounted price.
So how can you refill empty ink cartridges and use them over and over? To do this, you need to get an “ink refill kit”. You can buy them at various places, but make sure the kit you get is the right one for the cartridge you have. In my opinion, the easiest way to get a compatible kit is to search for one at an online ink store.
I received my ink refill kit about a week later, and immediately opened the kit. The kit contained bottles of ink for various colors, as well as several syringes. The kit also came with a tray where I can stand up the ink cartridge.
To refill ink into the empty cartridge, you must insert the syringe into small holes in your cartridge. If you are not careful, you may spill some ink, which is what happened to me. I also got ink onto my fingers, which was hard to get off. But after a while, I was able to refill each type of ink.
I next put the cartridge into my inkjet printer and tried printing a few test pages. Unfortunately, the colors did not come out very well, and what was supposed to be black instead appeared as a dark green color. Other than that, the cartridge did work fine. However, the next time I refilled the cartridge, it did not work at all. Apparently, a cartridge an only be refilled a few times before it will stop working completely, which is what seemed to happen to my cartridge after just 2 refills.
Overall, I would recommend buying recycled or new cartridges instead of using a refill kit since the results are unreliable. I find that the best discounts can be found online, using a 4inkjets coupon code. Online coupons routinely enable me to get discounts of 10% or more on my ink purchases.
