Oh! and I forgot to say that the re-fillers / cheapo merchants are parasites! They don't have to recoup any money from the development of the printers or the ink. How much time and money do the big boys put into just getting the ink right? Bet its lots as they say prints are good for 200 years in accelerated life tests on the ones I buy. Don't need that much but if I'm going to a lot of trouble to make a dial for a radio I don't want it to fade away or change drastically in a few years. Same for photos I display.
Whats the outlay for the parasites? just some cheap ink cloned somewhere in China.
I'm always asked to re-cycle my genuine empty cartridges, a bag being provided but why should I help the re-fillers? So in the tip they go!!
