I've bought refilled cartridges from ebay twice now (supposedly from a reputable "refiller"). They've dried up within 2 months both times :roll:

Yeah, I've had the same experience. I just buy the pukka HP ones now. They last for ages anyway, so it's swings and roundabouts in the end.

I've only bought the cheap ones in the past as I only really use my printer/scanner/copier for the scanning element, yet it still requires an working ink cartridge to scan :roll: But when they dry out it just tells me to "check cartridge" or "cartridge not recognised" and then won't scan again :roll:

Thinking about doing away with the printer/scanner/copier for a dedicated scanner instead.

I found that when doing some colour matching at home (ie. printing then tweaking, printing then tweaking) for a guy at work. When I came to print it at work (because my printer had run out of ink) it was completely different to how it had been printing at home! And I mean like the difference between Milano red and Cassis red! :?

well, another update, he sent just one message saying - just to clarify, you do realise this is for just the printer only, no leads. this was a little odd as the listing says w/leads, now does this point to with leads or without leads :? he must have figured he could get around the 1p sale by making the printer useless :evil: . then to make it worse he wouldnt respond to messages AND opened a non payment case :shock: :lol: :lol: cheecky fooker :lol: ,. still not to mind, i now have won an epson CX3600, and ink for these is around £3 on ebay, win win :lol: and oh yeh i have now paid the 1p to close the case, however what he doesnt realise is my feedback well end up costing him more than 1p :twisted:
