Why throw away a good working ink cartridge...just because the ink is used up..? You wouldn't throw out your stapler when the staples run out, or replace your petrol tank when you need petrol....would you ?
So why throw out empty ink cartridges ? By refilling, you can save heaps of money, help the environment a bit and probably find it easier to keep a bottle of ink on hand, than having to go out and buy a new cartridge when it runs out. Most people do...
And don't think, that just because it is much cheaper to refill a cartridge, than it is to replace it, the print results, or the printer reliability have to suffer. A cartridge that is refilled with good quality ink and before it's empty, will in most cases work exactly the same as a brand new one. Ink cartridges and ink tanks can usually be refilled several times, before having to be replaced.
Refilling is not a rocket science. It is quite easy, if you know what to do. It helps to have good refill instructions, preferably written by someone who knows what they're talking about.
Refilling doesn't have to be messy,
but be prepared to get your fingers inked a bit. You are dealing with ink after all. Pick an area where accidental spill won't cause a disaster (or divorce), like a clean sink draining board. It is almost impossible to get ink stains out of carpet, light clothing etc. Think before you ink! Keep a box of tissues on hand to mop up any spills!
Tip: Ink will wash from hands with water and soap, best if it's done straight away. Regular washing does reasonably good job on ink stained clothes and most stains will come out after few washes.

Note: Most, if not all printer cartridges should be refilled (topped up) before empty, or as soon as. If left empty for any length of time, the cartridge will either not fill properly, or not print right (if at all) after refilling. Colour cartridges should be refilled before any of the colours run out.
Many new printers come with cartridges that can't be refilled at all, either through use of smart chips, or the physical design of the cartridge (or both). This varies from model to model, but none of the printer makers want you refilling the cartridges and they try hard, to stop you doing so. If your printer is fairly recent, you might also have to buy some refill friendly cartridges and or a chip resetter to deal with the smart chips. It might cost more initially, but most printers (even new ones), can still be set up for easy refilling.
