Testing cartridges.

[JM328]

Hey everyone,

(Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question).

I've been selling empties on eBay for the last few months. I would like to start dealing directly with companies for certain HP, Dell and Lexmark carts because of better pricing. I'll need to start circuit testing my carts. Are there any inexpensive, reliable circuit testers out there for the big dollar HPs, Dell and Lexmarks?

I've seen some for $250 each that test anywhere from 5-10 different types of carts. Has anyone used these types of testers? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Here is a company that will pay up to a couple dollars for those cartridges and they will test them for you:

And here is a link to a circuit tester I ran across recently.

I don't know what it costs and I have never used anything like it.

Thank for your reply ghwellsjr.

I've run across that site before. Their prices on some carts are ok, but on others horrible. For example their paying $2 for HP 57's where I could sell them for $8.75 circuit tested. I guess if it came down to it I could get a few used printers and test the carts that way. The tester at magic-fill is around $7500. I've run across some here:

They are inexpensive but only test a few carts. Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks!
