i was wondering is there any differences in formulas between the different cartridges?
meaning can you take the ink out of another cartridge within the same family or form factor and use it in another ?
for example the hp 10 yellow is part c4842a and the hp 11 yellow c4838a.
the only differences i can see between the 2 yellows are just the spacing of the plastic ribs on the bottom next to the chip hole.
i do know the chip may have a different programming.
but is there any differences in the formulas between the 2 yellows that could cause damage to the printhead if you say extracted the ink from the hp 10 yellow and put it in the hp 11 yellow cartridge or take the cartridges apart and swap out the ink pouch from the 10 to the 11 yellow.
same would go for the magenta and cyan.
the black i think would be safe to do that because the printer i have hp business 1100 uses the hp 10 black and the other 3 colors are hp 11.
i sort of already did that for the cyan because i was trying to get the ink puch out of an hp 10 cyan and i damaged the metal crimping on the black pump bulb causing the ink to leak so i then extracted the ink to salvage it for use in the refillable cartridge .
