Ink refill kit?

is it worth it to use a refill kit? is it hard to do? i have a lexmark photo printer?

Answers:
If you buy a refill kit specific to your cartridge, and follow the directions, you should have very little trouble.

No cartridge can be refilled indefinitely, but if you can refill a cartridge 3 or 4 times before it toasts, you have saved quite a bit of money.

Lexmarks are pretty easy to do, compared to some others. Don't let the cartridge sit empty while you decide whether or not to go for it. The sooner you refill after it goes empty, the more luck you will have getting it to print again. You will get inky, and work over some newspapers and paper towels.

Good Luck!
Nope.

Here's the thing. When you've refilled a couple of times, that cartridge won't work anymore. Of course, you find out when you just fill it. Refilled cartridges NEVER last as long as the BRAND NAME cartridge.

But here is the thing. You bought an OK printer and it was CHEAP. You saved money on the printer, without regard to the cost of the INK.

If you ran off to BUY a Canon right now; you would discover that the ink is so much cheaper, that it would pay for itself in savings to PAY for the printer.

Canon is better, faster, more reliable, low cost ink, and professional photographers say BETTER PHOTO printing.

You see your Lexmark color cartridge: It's got three colors in one. So when YELLOW runs out... you are throwing away GOOD INK. The Canon has separate color cartridges, so when YELLOW goes dry, you only change the Yellow cartridge.

Now I have RUN OUT while printing a photo. I changed the color that RAN OUT. I then hit the RESUME button and my photo completed printing... It came out PERFECTLY, even though it stopped half-way through, and it took me 30 minutes to run out and BUY a new cartridge to replace the one that went bad. I was surprised...

So run out and buy a new Canon inkjet printer. Staples will even take back your unused Lexmark cartridges WITHOUT a receipt. (Staples is AWESOME)

Good luck and Happy Computing!
It's not hard, but the ink don't last as long and the color is not as good, The only good point is that it is a little cheaper.
