I am attempting to refill the hp920 cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges with ink purchased online. My printer is an HP Officejet 7000 E809a
When my new, genuine HP cartridges ran out of ink, I refilled them with the ink I purchased online exactly as the instructions indicated. At first, it seemed successful; although the colors were slightly different, I was happy with the results and feeling very excited about all the money I was going to save. The ink level indicator lights on the printer continued to show low ink levels (not a big deal to me as long as it's working), but the new ink seemed to be working perfectly....for a while. As soon as I try to refill the cartridges a second time, the printer doesn't seem to want to use them anymore. Results are inconsistent--I have a test page that prints blocks of pure cyan, yellow, and magenta--the cyan and yellow are giving me the most issues. On the test page, sometimes the colors are streaked, sometimes the blocks are about 10% printed and then abruptly stopped, sometimes they don't print AT ALL--almost as if the printer thinks they are out of ink and refuses to use them. Through my research on the web, most people say that I ought to be able to print just fine as long as I ignore any errors. I do not get errors on my computer, other than the ink level indicator showing that the cartridges are low or out. I have tried consecutively installing four different sets of cartridges before installing the refilled ones without successful results. I have also tried disabling two way communication with the printer without success. Strangely enough, even when the two way communication was disabled, the ink level indicator program still seemed to function as intended.
Exasperated, I bought a few sets of new, genuine hp cartridges with the same results--- the new genuine hp works perfectly and immediately (after getting the bad results with the refilled carts), and I seem to be able to refill them once, but as soon as that first refill is out, I'm out of luck. Does anyone know what the problem/solution might be??
Thank you in advance for any help/advice!
