So then, I wonder how many times that 1 gallon jug will refill the sponge side alone, of his black cart ? :) That's just funnier than #$#@ ! :)

Sorry, I can't possibly believe anyone, even a resident of California, has never seen a full cartridge, or read the instructions or seen a youtube video on ink refilling. I vote spoof, the material is weak, but his delivery is natural and believable and makes the whole thing work.

I hope this guy never finds this thread because the comments will make him feel very badly. It's obviously not fake. He thinks it works. It's a bit sad.

I saw this video while researching refilling methods just now. And I thought of this thread, and someone had beaten me to it.

You just have to wonder:

1, What sort of person thought this was a good idea.
2, How did they manage to get someone to fund the development and marketing
3, How on earth the person who agreed to #2 allowed themselves to be persuaded

and 4

How many gullible punters have actually bought one and had their print head fried when the ink ran out after 3 prints?

I might be thick, but I'm not stupid.

Ugh... those videos are just crazy! With the first one I wouldn't even know where to begin other than "PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE CARTIRDGE!"

With the second one, I totally agree with you Froggy! How did they get the funds to design, develop, produce and market that thing?!?!?
