Review of Color Refill Kit for Hp C6657an, C8728an. C9352an Hp 57, 28 & 22

Customer Ratings:

I must admit I was slightly skeptical about refilling my own ink cartridge on my HP printer. I read an online article on the subject and it stated that sometimes mixed results can be expected. Then the article went on to explain why replacement cartridges cost so much. When you buy a new cartridge you are paying for a new print head mechanism which is an integral part of the actual cartridge. The ink itself is really cheap. So that made sense to me. But at close to $50 just for a new color cartridge, I was willing to give this ink refill kit a try. Especially since my HP printer is nearly 6 years old, I figured I had nothing to loose.

Well the kit itself is very straight forward and includes very concise and well detailed instructions with illustrations, written in several languages no less. Since I was only running very low on the cyan (red) color, injecting that color alone into my cartridge only took a couple of minutes. The instructions advise to only refill those colors that are known to be running low and to avoid overfilling. It is also advised that you should not allow any color to completely deplete or it may be difficult to refill properly. When you are finished injecting instructed quantities of the color(s) into the proper holes on the cartridge you then finish up the process by extracting a small quantity of ink through a hole on the bottom of the cartridge with a syringe specifically designed for this purpose. This final step is to "prime" the cartridge to insure that the ink is flowing through all three chambers within the cartridge.

After finishing this operation I then re-inserted the cartridge back into my printer ran a clean printer cart. operation through the printer preferences services menu and presto I was back in business.

After printing 4 sheets (cheap satin finish copy paper) of a total of 16 different color photos on best quality, though not maximum dpi, I can confidently say that the color accuracy looks very good.

This kit claims to refill a cartridge 8 times. The only concern that I have is that according to the above article that I read concerning refill kits, it mentioned that ink cartridges do have a limited lifespan and that a cartridge head will eventually wear-out. If you continue to run a cartridge with a worn-out head in your printer, the article stated that it is possible that your printer might become damaged. That said, in my case if I get even 3 or 4 more uses out of the cartridge using this re-fill kit before my printer bites the dust I will be more than happy given the age of my printer. $11 beats

$100-$200 worth of new cartridges any day!

I purchased this refill kit to help our church save money, and it has! Easy to use, with one modification for me I did not suction out the ink after refilling, just cleaned off and ran some self generated test pages. Good deal for those who want to venture to try an FIY project to save money.
