Well its a couple months later and its still working well with no noticeable problems. Printed off some pictures and a whole bunch of books so far.

Seriously. Just use the subscribe button...

Well a couple days later there is no leakage and the printer is working well. I've taken a couple pictures attached below. I would like to add I installed HPs software bloat package off their website to ensure I have everything but intend to delete it soon. I also disabled the ink level check...

Ink in the CIS tanks.

Any tricks for preventing ink evaporation and pigment fading due to exposure to light? Or is the obvious solution of "Put a box over it and "close the ports when you're not using it" the best options?

Try contacting the people you brought it from. If it was a reputable company they should be willing and able to help you troubleshoot.

Well, just got my new CIS and set it up. This is my first CIS so it wasn't quite as easy as it looks. Removing the chips was a bit of a pain, seems HP has redesigned the cartridges with a lip to discourage chip removal but they provided a nice little mini-pry bar to get them off. Used it to lift...

Maybe you're right, but maybe I'll start with a prelim to show the setup and comment on what I got in the box.

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place but wasn't sure where else to put it. It seems Ink Products is having a half-off sale on a selection of their CIS systems. I've decided to use this as an opportunity to buckle down and buy one for my HP C410a. I am not affiliated with them, just when I...

I've looked at this model and it seems very... friendly to CIS systems. I was able to remove the right lifting handle and it has a perfectly sized gap for fitting in a CIS... which is very convincing for the CIS. If I go refillable I'm not going OEM. Just going to use the starter chips and put...

Looked at the links in detail. Thanks Thrilla. I've done more research and I think I'll be getting a CIS. Though I'm going to be turning monitoring off on that for sure. Will also allow me to avoid buying any new carts. I'll just use the chips off the starters.

Two years later, hows it workin' out for you?

I'm actually just thinking of buying refillable carts or a CIS for it. If I'm going to spend that kind of money I'm not buying some OEM carts that won't last more than a dozen prints. And what are the methods you're talking about?

I just picked up an HP Photosmart C410a for 50% off and am considering a Refillable/CIS solution. I'd like some opinions and advice because I'm not even sure which questions I should be asking at this point.

Any other thoughts?
