Will someone please recommend an inkjet refill kit that actually works?

I just bought Inktec: easy to do, but it won't print, even after several tries.

Anyone have any success with these refill kits?

1. Those things are a waste of money...

... I've tried 3 different brands for my HP DeskJet. I think Inktec was one of them.

Have you considered buying refurbished cartridges? I've had nothing but success with PrintPal...

2. What brand printer/cartridge do you have.

Some newer Epson cartridges have a chip that needs to be reset before it can be reused.

On Edit: I have used "Universal Inkjet Refill Kit" from Meijer or WalMart. Also bought a kit from a computer show (no brand name), and have had pretty good success on Lexmark cartridges (up to 4 or 5 refills/cartridge).

3. HP printer/ HP20 cartridges

Several people have told me that these kits work beautifully! I wonder if they're lying.

I'm now soaking the cartridge in warm water.

5. I heard the best place to get printing cartridges is at....

www.lasermonks.com

Yes, we really ARE monks!

We really DO pray and help others. Hundreds of years ago, monks survived by baking bread, making wine, or copying manuscripts. We survive by selling Ink and Toner Supplies online, at HUGE discounts.....and YOU benefit!

Lasermonks was founded in 2001 by a team of enterprising monks, and follows in the tradition of monastic business endeavors, uniquely blending philanthropy, spirituality, and enterprise to support a life of prayer and charitable service.

check out their prices!

6. it is recommended that you not use the refill kits or generic inks..

they are of inferior quality, and will clog up your nozzles. Best just to bite the bullet, and buy the OEM inks.
