I tried that with my HP before it failed it used 78 three color and 45 Black I usually made a mess. They would leak into the printer and run all over. Then sometimes they would work fine. I never figured out the problem. I think it was an air leak above the ink level.

They can be messy sometimes, but I can refill the cartridges several times. The kits last about a year, and I have to buy cartridges about twice a year because they short out after being refilled a while.The refill kits cost $34, and the cartridges cost $34. I can live with stained hands for the money I save. I have an HP, and most of the 3rd party cartridges I've found work great but are the same price or higher than the brand name. My old HP cost $70 for brand name cartridges and $50 for 3rd party. That's when I first discovered refill kits. On 10/2/2011 9:19 AM, androidlove wrote: > My PIXMA MX870 has been working great.
