Consider a Brother inkjet printer. They use separate ink tanks, there are cheap compatible inkjet cartridges and CISS systems for them.

I've never used a laser printer on a photo paper... let me know how that comes out!

Since the ML-6060D6 toner/drum cartridge has it's own number of print outs , I assume each cleaning equals 1 printed page. By specs ML-6060D6 has 6k pages, so one cleaning every 700-800 pages wouldn't reduce the life of your cartridge that much.

You can start by using refill kits to refill inkjet cartridges, but I don't see much profit unless you have high demand, which you would be able to supply using just the refill kits. Solely my opinion. Anybody else?

As far as I know, HP don't have visible holes on their cartridges. They should not be any signs of damages as well Usually when you buy a cartridge in a retail box and factory sealed, they should be OEM (original) cartridges. Nevertheless there always are people who would try to take advantage...

Hi Serville, both PG-210 and CL-211 (regular capacity) contain 9 ml of ink when sold as compatible, so I guess that's their capacity. Not sure about the PG-240 / CL-241 Simon

Generally, there are 3 types of aftermarket cartridges: 1. Remanufactuerd - most of the components of the OEM cartridges are used -- recycled or just cleaned 2. Clones - build from scratch, new components built on the OEMs basis. 3. Compatible - more like the clones, but the manufacturers have...

So, a bad printhead damages the power supply of the printer? Or it does damage some other part? Can you clarify, please? Thanks
