- Good job you did for the people.
  But rest assured there's going to be some dumbass that said such things tear up their printer! For those dumbasses, if they'd do some research, they would learn the right way to do things. You get 5 stars dude and wished we could give ya more than that.

- Pins..
  How did you find which pins to cover with electrical tape? I have a Lexmark printer too, but it's not the exactly the same cartridges, however they look very similar.
  By magickam 1195486586 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~7113934~~
- do a search on one of the search engines
  and you'll find all the info you need on what pins to cover with something like scotch tape.

Where did you find this?
Cool info... I almost threw mine out. Now I can refill the blasted thing. It's a shame that companies make it cheaper to buy a new printer than it is to buy replacement cartridges. I loved it when you could just refill a cartidge before they added the stupid ink level checkers.

Cool trick!
I did it with Epson as well. 5*****

this is how i refill my cartridges
long time now cause i print at least 500pages/month. However i have to mention that:
1) this method dos not apply for every printer. (e.g. Epson cartridges have to be refilled in totally different way).
2) The colour ink lacks quality no matter what brand u buy. The original is the best. There is no problem with the black.
3) if u refill a colour cartridge and dont use it for a long time the head will soon get dry and is quite difficult to make it work again.

Apart from that i definately suggest to refill the cartridges instead of buying new ones. Think that at the same time you protect the enviroment as well ;-) 5*

Hmmm
I have done this with my HP many a times. My two cents... Make the hole on the top of the cartridge instead. Just in case the tape comes loose so the ink wont run down the printer. Also if you run some hot water by the metal contacts for a minute (before refilling) the printer will think its a new cartridge. This works for HP I know.

Dell?
my dell printer looks exactly the same - has anyone tried this on a dee cartridge?

Which ink
works best for this?
By blakeness 1201210069 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~6468954~~
Awesome!
I have the same cartridges/printer and was wondering If there was a more affordable way to refill them.

This definitely worked for me and thanks so much for the awesome tip!

great vid 5 stars... but where do you get ink?
By ilikecars 1199419514 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~7607084~~
Refilling can get messy
but is often a better choice for my money and our Earth. If I need top quality or if I am lazy, i buy new cartridges. EU directives were set in motion in 2004 to outlaw the chips that prevent re-use of cartridges. Search for "Killer chip EU printer refill directive"

ahh
They make refill kits and you dont have to poke a hole in the side but in the top. Or get a laser printer, they print thousands of copies.

Worth to watch 5 stars^^
Very useful tips for saving lot of money...thanks for the IDEA, by the way which model are you using?
By tycoyoken 1195498580 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~5873579~~
Cool stuff but
I dont really trust the electrical tape to keep that hole plugged. Wouldnt superglue do just as well, if not better for that? Still need the tape on the pins though.

info isn't 100% correct
the cartridges sometimes cost more for the bigger laserjet printers yeah...and they don't even use ink, they use fine powder

there are shops all over the UK called "cartridge world" where you can go get your old cartridges filled up for a fraction of the price of a new set of cartridges
By jindivik 1195519473 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~2573291~~
...
He didn't even install the cartridge into the printer at the end. He kinda just set it down in there... that would never work... :p (try to plug it in next time you plan on installing a cartridge)

Also - Most cartridges have a pencil eraser sized area on the bottom of the cartridge (sometimes top) that looks like it was a previous hole and has been glued shut. There is a plug behind the glue that you can screw a small screw into and pull the plug - then use a syringe to refill it and simply glue the plug back in. cleaner look... This is only with cartridges that have "print heads" attatched to them.
