The seller was terrific; I got the product very soon after ordering, professionally packaged for shipping, the whole 9 yards.

The product itself is easy to use (directions are included), but the ink is not the best quality. If you have a 'before refill' and an 'after refill' printout you can clearly see how the refill ink is lighter colored and more prone to streaking. If you intend to just print out single-use things (directions, funnies from the web, etc) it's a great way to save money. I wouldn't use the refill ink for things like family photos, though.

I can never get anything fiddly done while my kids are awake, so imagine my surprise when I was able to successfully refill not one, but TWO ink cartridges while tending to my kids! I refilled the just-emptied cartridge from my printer and an older one that had been dead for a long time. The dead one came back to life after I put a little Windex in the bottom of a plastic container and let the print head soak in it for about 10 minutes. The "only mostly dead" cartridge just needed a couple of head cleaning cycles to get roaring back into life.

The instructions were very clear. I had expected that for so low a price I'd get instructions written in Engrish, but I was pleasantly surprised. The squeeze bottle that the ink comes in is very cleverly designed to be put underneath the cartridge to hold it in the proper position while the ink soaks in. The drill tool is also very clever and I will hang onto it so that I can use it for crafts. My only disappointment is that there are only 1-2 refills in each kit, but I would gladly buy this kit again (and probably will!) I can't wait to try the color one next, as soon as my current color cartridge runs out of ink!

This was my first refill kit I have ever bought.

I refilled the ink within 5minutes and had the printer back up and functioning perfectly!

The printer still says "black ink low", but I don't pay attention to it and it does not effect the printing as I use it as our network printer at home.

A big plus also is I still have 1/2 the bottle left for another refill!

This definitely beats the $30 retail price of a whole new cartridge!

Honest reviews on Black Ink Refill Kit for Canon PG210 PG-30 PG-37 PG-40 PG-50 PG-510

I just purchased this ink refill kit as well as the color kit (921-trio) to refill my canon mp-160 printer cartridges. This is my first time refilling cartridges and I have to say that it was an excellent experience. Total time to fill both cartridges was about 15 minutes, 10 of which was getting set up at the table and making sure I didn't make a mess.

My first thoughts were that the instructions were in ENGLISH and not translated poorly from another language. They were clear, concise, and accurate so there was no mistaking what you were supposed to do.

Second, the ink comes with nice syringe type applicators with rubber caps so you can safely store the unused ink.

Lastly, I have a few suggestions that make life a little easier. The directions tell you to remove the label from the top of the cartridge. The sticker is difficult to get peeled up and ends up coming off as little pieces. To avoid this, get a razor blade, sharp knife or something similar and CAREFULLY slide it under the edge of the label. You will be able to easily peel the label up and get a good hold on it to pull it off in one peice.

Also, don't use the included drill bit unless you absolutely have to. There is the risk that you can get plastic particles into the cartridge and cause problems. Granted I do not know how much of an issue this is but i would rather be on the safe side. Use a paper clip, awl, or small screw driver heated over a flame to melt the hole larger. Doing this causes the plastic to get pushed up so you will need to trim this off using a rasor blade so the hole is flush again.

After filling, I printed a picture to test the ink and it came out beautifully. I cannot see the difference between this and the orignial cartridge. The price Can't be beat either. I got two of each of the color and black refill kits and it only cost me $30 shipped to my door in 3 days.

I would highly recommend this product!!!!

If you do not print much, new cartridges dries up after a few months anyway, so why spend the $20? I cannot say how many pages this refill will allow you to print due to my low usage, but its good to have a printer ready on standby for emergencies. It is very easy to implement. Do not get intimidated by even the instruction sheet, which tells you to have gloves, newspapers and towels ready. It takes a few minutes. The hardest part will be removing and installing the catridge, which you need to do anyway with a new one.

And the printer will show 'low ink' for any refill, even if full, so do expect to see the message.
