Can you refill ink cartridges without damaging your printer?

I have an inkjet printer, purchased from a well known manufacturer and distributor. They plainly state not to refill your cartridges as you will destroy your printer. I just recently purchased a refill kit that states I can safely refill my cartridges that came from this manufacturer. Is the claim of ';destruction'; true or is it a marketing strategy for ink sales? Thanks a bunch!!!Can you refill ink cartridges without damaging your printer?
Yes, you can refill your cartridges, and your refill kit states that you can refill you cartridges that come from that manufacturer, but what was not stated was the ';MODEL'; of the printer. for instance 'HP'. they have different models of inkjet printers,'5100','5500',3800 etc and all the cartridges are not the same, some you can refill without problems and some you cannot, i think what was stated on your printer is for your own good.Can you refill ink cartridges without damaging your printer?
No one can answer this question without knowing what the printer is, and what the ink refill is.


There are 10 basic types of printer mechanisms. Within these groups are dozens of specific modifications from each of the manufacturers.


Most can be refilled with specific inks. SOme, cannot be filled with '; GENERIC '; inks, since the inks will clog or congeal with the existing inks.





If you state the printer type, I can tell you much information. Without this information, anyone would


be giving you meaningless information, since the different printers use VASTLY different technology, and the success


and ease of refill vastly vary.


your question is like asking '; I HAVE A CAR _ HAS ANYONE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT? '; What car?


NEED MORE INPUT.
Yep, but it can be a mess...believe me!
Using refillable ink cartridges is not recommended as it really can damage your printer. Not to mention it will also void your warranty. Granted you might be able to get away with it, but if you do have a problem and try to get technical support/service you will be SOL.
They say that so you will buy only their ink cartriges, I have been refilling my ink cartriges for years and have never had a problem.


It's cheaper and the print quality is the same.
yes
you can refill them, buy a kit off Ebay or take cartridges into Wal Greens as they do it professionaly
only refillabe ink cartridges are safe to refill
the refill kit should work fine just follow directions manufactures just trying to make money i refill mine all the time
