    a question of quality (Canon User)

    I use Hobbicolors ink and am very happy with them. I had refilled for years (way back with the BJC 600) and have found that the Hobbicolorsr cartridges are a breeze to work with.

    Storage of filled Canon cartridges

    Hello all, I just found this forum recently and have enjoyed perusing all of your combined wisdom and experiences. I'm not totally new to refilling - but I had been refilling the OEM cartridges and not the designed-for-refill ones. I always had trouble with the air-tight seal of the fill...
