I recently bought a refill kit for my HP B8550 PhotoSmart printer.
I've never bought a refill kit before - but given the price I though it was a great way to save money (as everyone else)
My experience was unfortunately a bad one.
Probably due to my inexperience and knowledge of inks and such, I had issue after issue plus a mess to boot.
I was filling an HP 564XL cartridge
First - I could not tell if the inks were being injected properly since little to no ink flowed into the little window on the cartridge.
Second - the black sometimes didn't print, sometimes it printed half a sheet but generally wasn't printing.
And last - the printer doesn't see the cartridge as filled - which could be due to the chip saying it's empty.
Has anyone else had success with this or similar setup, could possibly help me out with a few pointers?
Thanks
Rich
