>>30079 I used a re-filled cartridge just once. I didn't re-fill it myself, but bought it from a shop that takes in empty cartridges, re-fills them, seals them and sells them again. So nothing like sticking a needle in your ink cartridge (or maybe it is, I didn't get to watch how they did it ;o). Anyhow, So I bought a re-filled and sealed cartridge from them, but after a while, when I wanted to print something, my printer didn't respond. The cartridge had in fact leaked, messing everything up, and cleaning the mess didn't make my printer work again; byebye printer... The printer was still under warranty, but if you use re-filled cartridges instead of official, brand cartridges you basically forfeit your warranty... Luckily for me, the repair guy was a great guy and didn't mention the fact I had used a re-filled cartridge on the form, so I got a new printer for free. But I never did use any re-filled cartridges ever again... And I know you're all gonna be like: "that cartridge probably wasn't sealed properly" and "it's okay if you re-fill it properly". Well dûh... ;o) Me, I just don't wanna take the risk. I just hand in my old cartridge when I buy a new, brand one and take the 30% discount for it. It's still more expensive than those re-fill sets, but cheaper than a new printer. ;o)
