It sounds sophisticated, but it was just a simple set of squeeze bottles with ink to refill my ink cartridges. The first couple of times I used it, it was a little messy, but I quickly got used to how much ink to put in, and how best to do it. In the last 2 years, I&#8217;ve only purchased 1 set of cartridges for my hp deskjet 990cxi printer, and that was only because we were doing something very important and I wanted to make sure that the cartridges were good.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the refill kit cost $30 CDN at the local Costco, and has saved me probably hundreds of dollars worth of ink cartridges.<\/p>\n<p>One way that I have been lucky though, is that at my place of work, they have several different printers that use the same ink cartridges. I&#8217;ve asked people when they are empty to give them to me. I have a collection of probably 30+ empty ink cartridges that I can try if it seems like a print head is dead. I don&#8217;t really have to mess with trying to clean the print head. I just toss the cartridge and try another one.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the moral of the story is, don&#8217;t be afraid to try refill kits. This one has worked great for me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 2 years ago my father bought me an Interactive Media Sales, LLC (IMS) Ink Refill System.
