Generally re-filling ink cartridges is not a good idea.

Best is to buy replacements from printer mfr, BUT.

IMHO equally as good and a lot less expensive is buying ready-made
cartridges from mfrs who specialize in making that type.

That is what I do and it works for me. Saves lots of money too compared to
buying proprietary cartridges from printer mfr.

Why? I've been doing it for almost two years and have encountered no
problems whatsoever and all I 've done is save a fair chunk of money.
If you are going to give that kind of advice, maybe you should state
your reasons.
