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!

The most complete printer cartridge refill kit I have ever used. These people are serious. Comes with holder for cartridge, syringes, ink, and plastic gloves. Very good directions for a product of this nature. I refilled both an HP 56 B&W cartridge and an HP 57 color cartridge. They work flawlessly. Buy this product and save yourself some serious money.
