I have been refilling, as well as using remanufactured ink cartridges for several years. They are what they are, and sometimes they don't work, or leak, or any number of other user issues. Some new ink cartridges are no better and cost a lot more. There are tricks to getting an unwilling ink cartridge to print, but it's a pain and doesn't always work.
I bought this brand for price, free shipping and because I couldn't refill my HP 15 anymore. They do wear out, and my last unused cartridge was dead out of the box. Appears to have been out of date, they do have a limited shelf life. Since Walmart doesn't sell that brand anymore, I couldn't return it.
Out of the box today, the first cartridge worked perfectly. If two or more out of the four work, I'm good at this price. The pricing for this brand makes refilling a no go.
I would also add that these cartridges are properly packaged, print head taped, plastic cap and sealed in a bag.
I read one review complaining about rattling inside the ink cartridge. Cartridges like the HP 15 have a bladder that holds the ink, not sponges, and the fill hole is plugged with a 5/32 ball bearing that is then covered with a stick on seal. The ball bearings are pushed into the bladder, refill several times and you get shake, rattle and roll, no extra charge.
The only thing missing, is a way to recycle these cartridges back to the manufacture. Walmart use to have plastic, prepaid mailing bags to recycle used ink cartridges. Not so these days.

I bought this because it seemed like a great deal; 4 black ink cartridges for the price that they change for 1/5 of an HP cartridge. I installed it and it has worked well; so far so good.Best Deals for Printronic Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for HP 15
I had one that suddenly sent my printer into convultions and it appeared that my hearty but old printer was done when infact it was due to a faulty cartridge from these guys. I had bought a set of four and when I replaced it with another cartridge the malfunction stopped but suddenly there was a huge puddle of ink oozing out of my 940c. This ooze is ongoing and it is very messy.It left a large amount of ink inside of the printer which is hard to remove and it will continue to leak out under the printer. Thank god for cheap ink that is water soluble but none the less these cartridges are no bargain. It will take days for my fingers to turn white again.Honest reviews on Printronic Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for HP 15
I was very pleased with the service from this company, especially when they replaced one cartridge that didn't survive the mailing (no protective padding in the envelope). However, I didn't get around to installing one of these cartridges until a few days later. My HP PSC wouldn't recognize it. I even surgically removed the barcode from the old HP original cartridge and attached it to the remanufactured one. No go. Bummer. After looking on-line, I found that the culprit was probably a missing "chip" that HP installs in each of their cartridges.My PSC is very old and still works like a champ, but the difficulty and expense of finding new "official" cartridges makes me as angry at HP as I am with the company that sold me cartridges that don't work. Live and learn.......
