Inkjet Refill Kits

I recently found myself buying a new printer after having simply gone to get a cartridge for my old printer. The reason for the new purchase was that it worked out CHEAPER, how crazy is that. I'm guessing that in these days of credit crunch and tighter purse strings there will be a few more who like me will try to save money on computer peripherals in several new and innovative ways. There is a way to save a substantial amount of money by refilling your old cartridge. There are quite a few manufacturers who now supply refill kits, but perhaps the most well known is JR Inkjet. The refill kits come in many shapes and sizes to accommodate most modern inkjet printers. ...  Read the complete review

I was first introduced to JR Inkjet Refill Kits about two years ago, I had just spent around £50 to replace both colour and black cartridges in my Canon printer and was watching QVC on television, a lady was demonstrating the refill kits and it looked fairly easy so I ordered a full kit. The kit consisted of two boxes both boxes contained instructions for refilling numerous makes and types of cartridge, a syringe, blunt filling needle and plastic cover, screw plug extractor and a sealing plug, in one box there was a 20ml bottle of yellow ink, 20ml bottle of cyan ink and a 20ml bottle of magenta ink, the other box had two 20ml bottles of black ink and the kit cost me ...  Read the complete review

Why oh why did I not think of this before? My ink cartriges for my Lexmark Z42 printer are about 30 quid a go, and when mine ran out last week, I thought "what the heck", "I'll try a refill kit". There are many fab reviews of refilling ink cartridges, and with the hope of saving a lot of cash, I went for it. My only problem was that my Mum had been covered in ink before whilst trying to refill her HP cartridge. Maybe she was just inept. I don't know. Anyway, the kit arrived this morning, with two little squeezy bottles with attached syringes, which seemed a much better idea than the others "draw the ink up yourself and ...  Read the complete review

If there is one aspect of computers that people are moaning about at the moment it is the price of inkjet refills. Printers seem quite a bargain, costing only around £100 for one capable of very high quality. While mine is a slightly cheaper (£60) Lexmark Z12 it still claims to offer photo realism. This comes at a price however, as the printer guzzles ink. When printing an A4 sized photograph at the highest quality you can literally see the ink level dropping on the on-screen display as the page is printing. And when you consider that a new ink cartridge costs around £28 then you soon realise that your printer's cost will soon be multiplied massively if you use even ...  Read the complete review

I feel that there is a conspiracy going on. No, I don;t mean the one about area 47, Roswell and those little green men, or the true whereabouts of Lord Lucan, or whether Elvis really was seen in Sainsbury?s in Bournemouth high street last weekend, this is a bigger conspiracy altogether. I?m sick and tired of paying extortionate costs for something as simple as a cartridge for my printer! I don?t know who came up with the idea of refill cartridges, but they are laughing all the way to the bank, and so are the manufacturers, who are really raking in the cash. Printer cartridges are designed to be thrown away when the ink runs out, and you are supposed to buy a ...  Read the complete review
