Folks, just like the rest, I was also sick and tired of dishing out 600Plus pesos for a tiny injet cartridge which (sometimes) was already dried out from sitting on the store shelf. Last time I bought a pack of 2 color #23 cartridge (HP) from a famous PC store in santiago for 1000 pesos (great deal). When I was done with using one of the 2 cartridge (guess what?) the other one was already dried out on one ink. This was a total loss of 50% of my investment. Even in USA the cartridges are not cheap (HP brand to be exact).
So here is the solution: I was in atlanta and saw a huge 9 bottle (or maybe 8, i am not sure) refill kit of stratitec inkjet refill kit in Costco warehouse store. It was priced at $20 US. At the time, it seemed like a good risk to take considering how much the real option would have cost me. I bought one despite of all the horror stories I have heard on how the kit never works and how you end up staining your clothes and the table, etc etc.
The kit came with 3, 60ml (eash) sized color bottles and 2, 60 ml each black tint bottles. In addition 4 more bottles (60ml each) were packed for the photo print cartridges (mainly HP and other brands). They claim to almost fill up any cartridge with ease if you follow the direction in the small booklet. My printer is HP 810C which uses #23 for color and #15 for the black & white ink.
I read the pages concerning my model of cartridges and learned them well. To my surprise, the kit came with almost everything that you would ever need for the process. All instructions were simple and easy to follow. There is also a trouble-shooting section provided for every single cartridge listed. I was able to refill my color cartridge in minutes and reseal it. Almost always you will run into problems with the HP color cartridge. In my case, the yellow was not printing. So with some easy simple tests and steps I was able to make it running like a pro. I also filled up my B&W to the max and sealed it shut.
I am a happy camper as I have saved alot of moneyand still have plenty of ink left to fill up any future empty cartridges.
Folks, this thing really does work and doesn't get you dirty. there is very little thinking involved and almost anyone can do it without having any special tools.
Here is a webpage of the kit i bought: http://www.stratitec.com/inkrefill/index.html
I bet many other similar brands would work too but this one comes with a ton of ink for the attractive price of 20 dollars.
Good luck.
