HP Ink Refill Kits

HP Ink Refill Kits. Are They Worth It?

You will probably never find an HP ink refill kit manufactured by HP. If you do, it is a rare thing because they are hard to find. A search of the Internet will bring up very few, if any, of HP ink refill kits actually sold by Hewlett Packard.

You may ask why is this? Well we can only assume that HP thinks that it is a detriment to their printers and ultimately their sales and reputations.

If you understand the technology and design that goes into these print cartridges, you would understand that any messing around with them could ultimately cause problems.

For instance, each HP cartridge has a micro-chip that controls the printing so any problem with this chip and you’ll have printing problems. While this may rarely happen, Hewlett Packard probably believes it is safer to not deal in HP ink refill kits and avoid the potential backlash with the little problems that can go wrong when refilling cartridges.

Now this is not to say that others will not sell HP ink refill kits, because they in fact do. The Internet has many, many sites that sell HP ink refill kits as well as other manufacturers.

HP ink refill kits vary – depending on who is selling them and what cartridges they are for. Most ink refill kits are not universal – meaning one kit cannot fill any HP cartridge. While some cartridges many be quite similar there are differences.

That is also the reason we just can’t list the steps necessary to re-fill an ink cartridge. All ink cartridges have their own uniqueness making each one a little different. Granted - after you get some experience you can probably deal with any ink refill kit, but starting out there are things you need to know.

The bottom line is that HP ink refill kits can be bought from many places and are probably cheaper than buying a new print cartridge, but, there are inherent problems that could arise and cause you headaches.

While this is probably not the case in most instances, it is still something you should be aware of before buying that HP ink refill kit.
