I’ve been refilling my printer’s ink cartridges for a long time now. It’s very much a cost saving method compared to purchasing new cartridges every time I run out of ink. I’ve refilled Lexmar, Brother, Epson and HP printer cartridges with complete success. One of the kits I use is the one to the right. One can buy ink for their specific make and model – but since I have more than one printer, I opt for the universal kits.
Some printer companies have come out with cartridges that idealistically, they were hoping one wouldn’t be able to refill; however someone outsmarted the companies and created a special tool, so that the level of ink can be reset once it has been refilled. You can either buy the tool or alternatively, buy a new set of generic refillable cartridges for your printer for very little money (I’ve found them on Ebay) and then refill those cartridges.
I’m forever running out of black ink before any other color is close to running out. Therefore, I always make sure that I have lots of black ink on hand. Not only that, but a lot of the new printers won’t operate if one color is out. This happened with an Epson printer I have – which I refilled and got it humming again, but I didn’t realize that was the reason the darn thing wouldn’t print the first time it happened!
The only drawback I’ve found to refilling the cartridges yourself is that it can be a tad bit messy. Make sure you have paper towels handy. Rubber gloves help save the hands. Of course, you may be a lot more careful and have a lot more patience than I do for this kind of stuff – thus not making such a mess. I can live with the mess I create knowing how much money it saves me.
This is the link to the kit I use – Universal Inkjet Refill Kit Color – 1 kit – $8.58 – A whole lot of bang for the buck 🙂

There is a moment in my life that I will never forget. It was exactly one year ago today. I visited with my doctor as I always had and was told that there was no way around knee surgery, that it was my only option at that point. My knee has been the biggest complication in my life, causing me unrelenting pain for as long as I can remember. I tried to keep it under control without surgery, but the pain became unbearable, so the doctor set the date and the surgery was done. I remember being in even more pain after, but I was hopeful it would get better. I was confined to a bed for about a week. At first I was bored out of my mind. I am usually never home, much less laid up in the bed all day. I decided quickly that I should go to www.expertsatellite.com and sign up for satellite television service so I could at least have something to watch. Instead of lying there feeling sorry for myself, I was able to take my mind off everything and escape into a fictional world.
Here’s a fabulous deal. For $37 – with shipping included, you can get a 16×20 canvas. What a great Mother’s Day gift.
