Ink cartridge refills                                                                                                                           Updated Jan  2010 Ink refilling is an economical alternative to replacing empty ink cartridges. Often, you can simply refill the ink cartridge(s) that came with your printer. This applies to most Canon, Dell, HP and Lexmark printers using two ink cartridges (black & colour). Most original ink cartridges with a print head (on cartridge), as well as many Canon and HP individual ink tanks can be filled.  All you need is some ink, refill tools and instructions - a "refill kit".    Find ink refill kits for Brother, Canon, Dell,  Epson, HP, Lexmark (genuine) ink cartridges by clicking one of the pictures or links below...or read more about ink refilling further down this page.                Brother ink refills  Canon ink refills  Epson ink refills  HP ink refills  Lexmark ink refills   Why refill empty cartridges..? You can save as much as 95% by refilling your cartridges and it is easier on the environment as well. Most people find refilling much more convenient too. Having a set of ink bottles on hand and topping your cartridges up when empty would have to be more convenient, than having to go out to look for a new cartridge to buy. Ink cartridges and ink tanks can usually be refilled number of times before you have to replace them. How many? This varies from cartridge to cartridge, but as a general guide 3-5 refills for cartridges with a print head and 5-10 refills for ink tanks without print head. Ink cartridges and tanks don't last forever. It is important to look after your ink cartridges... If you don't, the number of succesfull refills will be reduced dramatically. Whenever possible, printer cartridges should be refilled (topped up) before totally empty. If empty for any length of time, the cartridge may not fill properly, or not print right (if at all) after refilling. Colour cartridges should be refilled before any colour starts to fade out. Printing with even one colour empty is the quickest way to damage a good cartridge. Refilling is not rocket science... It is quite easy, if you know what to do. It helps to have good refill instructions to follow. Some cartridges are very easy to do and the whole process might only take 2 minutes once you learn what to do. Some take little longer, others need the ink level chip reset as well. Note: Be prepared to put more effort into refilling - than you would fitting new cartridges. Read the instructions, even if you refilled similar cartridges before. Refilling doesn't have to be messy... But...you are dealing with ink, so be prepared to get your fingers inked a bit. Pick an area where accidental spill can be tolerated, like a clean sink draining board. Saving $20 by refilling your cartridges will quickly lose it's appeal, if you destroy $1000 worth of carpet in the process. Always keep a box of tissues on hand when working with ink.    Ink washes from hands with water and soap, best if it's done straight away. Stubborn stains can take few attempts to remove. Regular washing does reasonably good job on ink stained clothes and most stains will come out after few washes. But don't count on it...dark stains are often permanent. To start refilling your ink cartridges you need: quality ink (formulated to mix with original ink) accurate instructions you can read all necessary tools, plugs etc undamaged (working) cartridge  If you decide to buy a refill kit from InkBank, you are half way there. We make refilling as simple as possible with easy to follow instructions and premium quality ink. If you need help getting started, take advantage of our free phone and email support. Note: If your printer has chips fitted to ink cartridges, you may also need a chip resetter,  to make your printer accept the refilled cartridges. This applies to most Epson,  some HP and few Canon ink tanks.    How much ink are you getting..? If you are comparing refill kit prices from different companies, don't forget to factor in ink volumes and grade. Many competitor refill kits only come with 10-20ml of ink per colour. All InkBank refills include at least 50ml of each colour and up to 175ml of black ink. The ink we supply is the best you can buy, so it does cost little bit more. You get what you pay for.
