From: New on 7 May 2005 16:55 Hi! I just bought a used "HP DeskJet 970Cse" and was wondering if anyone had some good experiences with refill kits. If so, can you please tell me which ones you like? Thanks, New
From: Tony on 7 May 2005 19:58 Hello New Hmmm difficult question in some ways. I have found Inktec to be very good, they produce a large range of refill kits. The 970cse uses a 45 black and 78 Colour cartridge I think, the black cartridge is fairly straightforward to fill beacsue it has no foam filling. The 78 is foam filled and has three printheads (combined into one module) and becasue it is foam filled and there are 3 times the chances of a problemy they can be a bit tricky. If both cartridges are working well apart from low ink levels then you will probably be OK. The process is a bit messy at home so wear gloves etc. Ideally the 78 should be filled in a vacuum chamber and that is the only way I have seen them repeatedly refilled successfully (I know people who say it works OK without a chamber). The biggest issue you are likely to face with the colour cartridge is air pockets after filling (hence the vacuum chamber which helps to eliminate air pockets), if you dampen the head after filling and leave the cartridge sitting upright overnight (re-dampen with water from time to time) you will increase the chances of a successful refill. Sorry I do not have a great opinion of home refill kits for foam filled cartridges in general but many people are happy with them.

From: Tony on 7 May 2005 22:56 Hi again New May I suggest that you carefully read what measekite has posted before in this newsgroup and make your own judgement about his expertise. His knowledge is almost nil and his experience with printers goes back only a few months, others in this ng have years of experience. He is rude and insults anyone who disagrees with him. I have no affiliation with Inktec and if I was trying to get business I would have suggested that you buy new cartridges. There is zero chance that refilling your cartridges will damage your printer, the colour cartridge cannot leak and if the black cartridge is going to leak it will do so while you are refilling it, not later in the printer I have never seen a printer damaged by a leaking ink cartridge in many years of printer servicing. There is as I said before a reasonable chance that the refilling of the colour cartridge will be successful, the black cartridge is almost certainly going to be OK. It is only messy if you are not prepared, use a sink, ink won't hurt stainless steel, use gloves to avoid staining your hands and follow the instructions carefully. Good luck and please review measekites attitude by reading his previous posts, that will help you decide on his worthiness.

From: Dan G on 8 May 2005 00:00 I have a couple years experience refilling the 45 and 78 carts. They are temperamental at best. Figure on averaging 5 refills on the 45 and 2-3 on the 78. But some carts never seem to cooperate. I used the system sold at www.inkjetsaver.com . It works great for the 45, the snap-n-fill routine is very good with them. Some carts last for 6-8 refills. The 78 is a whole nuther story. Never run a cart even close to empty, always refill early and don't waste your time on a cart that won't behave. Keep a set of 3 45's and 3 78's, and rotate them through the printer. That way it doesn't remember them and show them as empty.

My opinions are personal opinions. I gain nothing if you buy a Canon, HP or an Epson. >I have no affiliation >with Inktec > He is like a lobbyist that will say things to further his industry. These people are very sneaky. There was another, WeStink, that was even more blatant until I exposed him and then he started spamming the NG by putting links to his wares. >and if I was trying to get business I would have suggested that you >buy new cartridges.

If you find one do you see any warranty that says "This cartridge is guaranteed not to leak and if it does we will repair or replace your printer.? >There is as I said before a reasonable >chance that the refilling of the colour cartridge will be successful, the black >cartridge is almost certainly going to be OK.
