I was delighted, with both the quality of print and the ease of refilling the cartridge. So I decided to try out the color cartridge refill for my 97 cartridge.
Same ease of refill.
Slight color difference (from the HP cartridges), but I used the color adjustment in Photoshop to alter the color just a small amount and was pleased to see little difference between photos printed with the original or refilled cartridges.
For everyday photos, these photos are as good as you'll get from the average inkjet printer. Besides, if you're looking for museum-quality prints of your prized photos, please take them to a high-end photography print shop and have the experts do it.
Don't think you'll get away altogether from buying HP original cartridges. Although the cartridges can be refilled several times, eventually they will wear out and you'll have to get new ones. Nevertheless, the savings are impressive compared to buying new HPs every single time.
Read the instructions carefully. You must clean the refilled cartridges twice and then prime them to get good results, but it's easy and certainly worth the tiny effort involved in doing it.
Highly recommended for both black and color refills.

REFILLED AN ACTUAL HP 97 CARTRIDGE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS VERY EASY AND SIMPLE. NO MESS. HOWEVER, AFTER PRINTING, COLORS WERE NO WAY NEAR ACCURATE POSSIBLY DUE TO THE CARTRIDGE PRINT HEAD. PURCHASED A NEW HP 97 CARTRIDGE AND WHEN IT RUNS DRY, I WILL TRY THE REFILL SYSTEM AGAIN.Best Deals for DataProducts 60418 60418 Compatible Ink Refill Kit, Tri-Color
I followed the directions to the letter for refilling an HP 95 cartridge. The cartridge had not dried out, and only had 25 maximum DPI prints made from it, so the printer head should have been fine.All the colors filled, but the cartridge was only good for four prints and then the blue and red colors stopped printing. I attempted to fill it again, but the blue and red colors would still not work.

It was difficult to use and refill the cartridges. It ruined several of my cartridges, not to mention they started leaking and printed pages had big globs of ink on them as well as inside my printer. It ruined my printer and had to buy a new printer as it could not ne repaired or cleaned. Do not buy this product. It's better to just buy new cartidges.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for DataProducts 60418 60418 Compatible Ink Refill Kit, Tri-Color
I bought one of these for HP 97 tri-color cartridge a couple of years ago, and it's only just running out. I've been able to get about 4 complete refills per HP cartridge out of it. Those cartridges normally retail for thirty bucks each.Previously, when I tried those syringe-based refill kits, I could only get 1 or 2 refills on a color cartridge before the heads blocked up. My 4-refill cartridge is still running fine after using this device. It's exceptionally easy to use and I don't get ink all over my fingers / the desk, which did happen with the syringe method.
Somebody complained that there was no way to see when the cartridge is full, but that's not true. If you follow the instructions, it says to drill holes for the needles using the template for location (easy), fit the cartridge into the gray piece of plastic and then fit that piece of plastic with cartridge attached into the refill kit. Then you turn the whole thing upside down and sit it on the desk. Watch for small air bubbles appearing in the transparent ink chambers this shows that air is escaping from the cartridge and ink is replacing it! When the bubbles stop, you know it's done. If you never get any bubbles, you can 'prime' the ink flow by pushing the little rubber buttons a few times.
I also bought a black ink version and that works exactly as well as the color.
