Can My Cartridge Be Refilled? Computers Articles | March 31 Brian Dawkins , 2005

New styles of inkjet cartridges are entering the market all the time, faster than anybody can keep up with. It takes time for the remanufacturers to collect empties and tool up to refill them. Sometimes it could take many months for remanufactured or generic cartridges to hit the market. Bulk inks need to be developed or reverse engineered. For this reason we don't always have refill kits or bulk ink or cartridges right away for new printers.



What's a person to do? You ask, "Can my new cartridge be refilled while I'm waiting for the after market to catch up?". Thankfully the answer is a resounding YES! If the manufacturer got ink inside that bugger you can bet you can too. "What about the inks?", you ask.


Many new cartridges are just re-hashes of the old ones with minor variations. While you're waiting you can experiment with your old
cartridges and try to refill them with the ink you already have. There are some guidelines to follow here though because I don't condone a one ink fits all solution.


Generally Lexmark and HP inks are interchangeable. Likewise Randall Cunningham , Canon and Epson can be interchanged. There might be some color variations
but you should be able to compensate in the driver set up. Pigmented ink should not be used in a dye based cartridge, however, dye based ink can be used in a pigmented cartridge. An Example is the Canon BCI-3e black cartridge which uses pigmented ink and BCI-6 which uses dye based ink. You can use the BCI-6 black in the BCI-3 but not visa-versa.


Finding the right place to drill a cartridge may take some trial and error. If you proceed logically you should get it the first time. For instance if a cartridge has two chambers, one with a sponge and one without Philadelphia Eagles Jersey , drill in the reservoir side, not the sponge side. In a multi-chamber cartridge with several colors drill over the place where you suspect the first color is and use a toothpick to sample the color. The chambers will usually have some kind of dimple or air hole directly over each chamber.


Start by injecting a small amount as a test, like 2cc or 3cc for color cartridges and 8cc - 10cc for black cartridges. You can add more if the
test is successful. Try to avoid overfilling the cartridge to avoid cross chamber contamination.


Take notes in case you kill the cartridge somehow. Your next attempt won't be possible until you buy another set of cartridges and use them up. If you're like me I won't remember what I did in a few weeks. (or days for that matter, that's scary!)

Regardless of the size and nature of your business Antonio Brown , it is always a smart idea to provide customers and clients with disinfectant or antibacterial wipes in an easily accessible wipe dispenser. There are a variety of purposes for disinfecting wipes, so please don't think your wipe dispenser only belongs in the bathroom!

Wipe Dispenser at the Front Desk of a Small Office

You don't have to be a germaphobe to be conscious about bacteria, germs, and other unknown substances that lie on everyday items. Thanks to the swine flu and other dangerous diseases Derek Carr , more and more people are aware about things they touch.

Placing a small wipe dispenser at the front desk in a small office allows your clients to protect themselves against bacteria and germs that might be present on a chair they will be sitting in, a pen they will be holding, or even the door handle. It's simple gestures like this that your customer will remember and appreciate.

Of course, antibacterial wipes are very important to offer in larger Bo Jackson , more populated businesses.

Wipe Dispenser in a Highly Populated or High Traffic Business

Examples of businesses that benefit from providing antibacterial wipes to customers include grocery stores and gas stations. Any business that receives a large number of customers, touching the same items (shopping cart or gas handle, for example) can secure customer loyalty by providing protection against potentially dangerous germs and bacteria.

In a gas station, wipe dispensers should be available inside (especially in the public restroom!!!) as well as outside Oakland Raiders Jersey , by the gas pumps. Customers who aren't consciously germ phobic (enough to carry around their own bottle of sanitizer) will greatly appreciate the opportunity to wipe off a gas pump handle before touching it... and this will not be forgotten.

Similarly, larger chains of grocery stores are already conscious about providing wipe dispensers next to can and bottle return machines. (Those machines are just loaded with germs!!!) And, again, public bathrooms are much more appealing when a wipe dispenser is appropriately located in an accessible place. Don't forget the germs that might lurk on shopping cart handles... this is why a wipe dispenser should be l
