The Inkjet Refill Debate

You want to save some cash through purchasing ink refills? We ll, in general, I recommend not using refills.

They are likely OK for printers with ink nozzles that are NOT built into the cartridge (like Canon printers), but I would still be careful. The ink may not be the same quality as what you would get from the manufacturer.

If you are using an HP printer, the ink nozzle is built into the printer cartridge and is not meant to be run refill after refill. When you replace your ink cartridge, you also replace your old nozzle with a brand new one. This helps keep the print quality good (especially important if youre putting forth effort to print out photographs).

Another point to consider is that when you bought your printer, you were likely searching at print quality. Why take a chance on compromising that print quality to save a few bucks?

I know we all want to save money, but I prefer good quality prints and longer printer life.
