Hey all, I don't know of another list where I can get this information
and googling was bringing too many commercial propaganda so I'd thought
I I'd try my luck and ask. I have a HP656c printer which ran out of
ink. The printer was cheap and I like the idea of having removable
printheads. Now the replacement ink is $50 a pop thus paying for a new
printer would almost be a better choice. But being concerned about the
environment and not wanting to give into paying the outragous price for
the ink I an looking into getting refill ink and doing it myself.
Now for the questions:
1. What are you're experiences with ink refills?
Most manufacturers use an alcohol base for their ink and the kits or
generic cartidges use a water base. Means a minimally longer drying
time. I haven't used them myself, but the regular customers I sell them
too swear by them.
2. What ink refill kits do you recommend, it's cost and where would
you buy them?
I recommend Ko-Rec-Type...35 years in the business...manufacture most of
their own cartridges...reverse engineer the ink...quality control on the
recycled (ususally HP or Lexmark) cartridges. I sell them at work
(Staples-Chinook) and the generic cartridge price averages $7-15 savings
per cartridge. Refill kit for Black (3 black bottles) ...$25...color (1
bottle of each)...$30. All Ko-Rec-Type products come with 100% guarentee.
3. General comments also welcome?
Once again I'm sorry of the OT post.
