Getting Fingers Dirty
It really hurts my heart, but for me, without applying many dollars of repair bills, for now, I am out of refilling with multiple (re)filled tanks sitting in my resource bin.
My favorite of all... IP4920 printer just errored out on the absorber tray reset... I waited too long and it went to red, and I'm at a loss for resetting the counter. No attempts have been successful. Then there's my IP8500, IP4200, and IP4700... with only the IP8500 having any hope at all. The other two have just gone completely dead... no response to the power button. With only the wife's MG6220, and my two... MG5420 and IP7220... refilling is very dim. The MG6220 was great for a while, but even completely flushing the print head doesn't prevent clogging with refill ink. I haven't even tried the other two with the PG250 and CLI251 tanks. I may look into them, but I haven't yet.
My main reason for refilling has recently taken a very big hit, as well. It felt like being forcibly retired from a job I loved, with all the emotions that go with it. Sorry for the "no" vote, but as people become discouraged by the printer manufacturer's efforts, the providers of the ink may not have a reason to continue to sell products to a shrinking market. For the short term, die-hards will maintain course, but in the long run, without some wonderful discovery, I fear we will all mourn the loss.
