Recognize that your printer manufacturer has made the cartridge to be disposable and wants you to buy another one when ink runs out. You are attempting to not to do this but save over 50% of the cost. Therefore, treat your cartridge as an ASSET not as a disposable item.
Most cartridges that have print heads built onto them ( Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, some
Canon ) can successfully be refilled 5 - 10 times before they should or need to be
replaced. Cartridges that do not have built-on print heads can generally be
refilled 15 - 30 times before they should be replaced. The internal sponge will
eventually wear out.

General Refilling Hints:
- Remove cartridge from
printer before refilling;
- Conduct the refilling
operation over a protected surface and avoid spills;
- Handle cartridges
carefully and avoid touching metallic parts;
- If cartridges with a print head are stored after refilling, the print nozzles should be cleaned before use, to remove any dried ink which may block them.
