Hi New.

You'll get a variety of answers to your question by knowledgeable
professionals with years of experience in selling and using refill kits
and probably a rebuttal (of sorts) from someone with no experience at
all either in using or selling refills yet with an ax to grind for
reasons unknown to anyone. I've kill filed this person and suggest you
do the same as he has nothing of value to add to this discussion.
Obviously you're seeking sound, professional advice which is always
available in this ng.
Thanks for asking and good luck.

Is Frankie Crankie a seller in disguise?

I used to refill these for a few years and filled a 78 recently for someone,
successfully I might add. I used to get many 45 refills out of a cartridge
(lost count) and as many refills with the 78 as you want but the resolution
seems to go off after 4 or 5 refills, so just plan on 3 for best quality. I
think there's plenty of good kits out there, it's the method that's most
important though. I found drilling 3 holes in the front about 1.3" from the
top and filling from there with long syringes towards the head was the best
method as there is no way to overfill as the holes act as overflows.
Overfilling seems to not be a good thing with 78s. Fill until ink emerges
at each hole then draw .5ml out and tape over the holes. Keep the head in
damp tissue throughout. Change to dry tissue once the initial dripping
slows. Once the ink has stopped dripping (5 to 20 mins) put the cartridge
in the printer and leave it unused for several hours. This is the most
important part, if you print too soon or run cleaning cycles before internal
pressures have equalised and before any microscopic air bubbles have had a
chance to rise out of harms way, then you will get problems. After the
several hour wait try a test print and run a cleaning cycle if necessary.

It sound really messy.

Thank you, Steve.

I understand that my printer model takes both pigment and dye based
inks.

Which ones of each do you recommend?
I mean, which brand names of inks?

Thank you,
New
