I am a refilling newbie--I recently purchased the IMS ink refilling system from Costco for my Canon S520 (it uses a 4 cartidge system: 3e Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow). I have thus far refilled the black and the Magenta. I printed some color photos that would use the Magenta refill, and they seem less vibrant than the original Canon Ink that I used to use. I also printed a number of pages of plain black text. The black is appallingly dull and lacks the crispness that I had with the Canon Ink. I followed the instructions to the letter, and had no leaks--I have one question, is it bad if the songe inside the cartridge is completely saturated? I notice that on my retail Canon carts, the top of the sponge stays clean, and is not completely saturated--does it make a difference whether the sponge is completely saturated or not?
I will most likely be returning the product. I have read positive reviews on this site and eBay for the Hobbicolors Canon refilling system.
I have a few concerns--when using refill systems, does quality suffer? I am a home user, so I do not have exteremly high standards, but I noticed immediately that the IMS ink didn't look as good.
Is the Hobbicolors ink for Canon very high quality? Will I notice a difference in quality when using Hobbicolors?--I just want a refill system that isn't too expensive, but will be of comparable quality to the retail Canon ink cartridges.
Any help or recommendations is greatly appreciated.
