Just wondering what your opinions are regarding using compatible toner cartirdge in a black and white Dell as opposed to a Dell OEM one? Can it damage the printer is not good quality? Printer is a Dell 2375. I know that in the past I had a Ricoh where the transport belt seemingly got...

Has anyone got refillable HP-364 cartridges with working ARC chips? I have bought some from ebay but when installed there is no level indicator as they are detected as non HP cartridges.

Hobbiecolors (black) ink is in and working fine. Unfortunately the ARC chip on the refillable cartridge doesn't seem to work so no level indicator.

Anyone tried these refillable 364XL cartridges. ebay 364XL refillable Just wondering if the chip resets properly so that the ink level indicators work correctly?

What are the best cartridges to buy for refilling, is there any difference in the quality of cartridges from different manufacturers? Is it best to buy empty cartridges or just plain non-OEM ones and refill them when they run out. The only ones I have at the moment are the starter carts which...

Next question is can I refill the starter cartridges or should I buy others? If so what are the best cartridges to buy bearing in mind they are going to be reused many times. There are many unbranded cartridges available, the only branded ones I have seen (apart from HP obviously) are GPC, are...

Can anyone offer advice on how to replace the feeder belt on a Ricoh GX-e3350n and where to buy one?

As the title says cab I use Hobbicolors inks in HP364 cartridges? These were originally bought for use in a Canon which is dead but I now have a HP6420 which I would like to refill.

Many thanks @Tintenklecks, lots of good information in your post there. For the moment I purchased a set of after market cartridges but when they run out I might have a go at refilling with Epsom compatible ink. Think when I do I will probably buy some refillable cartridges because they come...

There are some refillable cartridges available but no reviews so unsure if they work properly or not. Also which is best manufacturer to buy ink from?

Anyone have experience of refillable Ricoh GC-31 cartridges (in a GXe3350n)? Suggestions for best brand of ink etc.

Really, that's interesting! So it is an electronic issue rather than a mechanical one then. There must be an some memory somewhere linking that printhead to the printer then. If that is true then surely there must be some way of wiping that and fixing the problem electronically.

Very interesting. Looks like that error is deliberately cause by Canon after a certain period of time to make you go and buy a new printer. Definitely never ever going to be a Canon again. Lets hope that Class Action succeeds.

Seems strange but my MP620 which I picked-up second-hand from a friend only worked for a couple of weeks before dying with the error: U052, incorrect printhead installed. I have refiled the cartridges with Hobbicolors ink. The coincidence is that my previous printer, an MP610, also died with a...

Thanks, have now ordered a new chip resetter.
