I'm giving this system five stars because I used their printer head cleaning system and it works so well that I still can't believe it. Seriously, these people know something about what they're doing.
I cannot fairly review this particular product because I have not yet used it but based on the workmanship and quality of the items, I can say that they are well made and their customer service is impeccable.
Their customer service replied to every email and every question I had regarding this item quickly and completely. I can say that the company has a very good reputation and does in fact, have a high quality ink which is very important to me. For years I've never used anything else except Epson Ultrachrome inks.
The problem was that at about $13 per cartridge, I was using half of it just to clean the printing head from a clog! I do high quality printing on extremely expensive and high quality papers. I don't do any production work but I do have people who pay me to correct and print their work. So the lifespan of the ink quality is an important selling point to me.
Colorink does advertise a high quality ink comparable to the Ultrachrome and after visiting their website, I have no doubt that this is where I'll be going for my refill inks.

I ordered 2 of these cartridges for the Dell 946 printer. One didn't work at all. The email tech support said to run it under hot water, which I did to no avail. The other cartridge worked for maybe 20 pages. So now I only buy authentic, new Dell cartridges.Best Deals for EnviroInks Compatible Dell Series 8 Black 946 Ink Cartridge

Review of HP 920XL Four Pack Black & Colors Ink Cartridge Set
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $100.31
Sale Price: $73.99
Today's Bonus: 26% Off

I recently received a notice about a class action suit against HP related to the high ink usage of the 6500 printer that uses this ink.
It seems that the normal default setup for the printer uses all 4 inks when printing black! To lengthen the life of the color inks, you need to change your defaults so that it prints in black and white, using only the color ink. I need to look at the quality if I set the default to 'draft quality' as well.
That last part is on a menu with the choices being 'High quality' and 'black ink only'.
If you set your printer defaults to this, you'll need to modify the print setup on a request basis when you want print in color.
The color ink should last a lot longer with this.
Edited on February 19, 2011 to add: Be aware that the low ink indicator on your printer is not very accurate. Recently I experimented by leaving the old cartridges in until the printer would not print. These 920XL cartridges continued to print for nearly three months AFTER the printer indicted that they were empty.
Having owned laser printers exclusively until last October (2009), I was spoiled by how long laser cartridges last. Last fall I bought the HP 6500 printer to replace an old and increasingly balky laser printer. I am delighted with the print quality of my printer, by I was shocked by the short life of the color cartridges.
Thankfully I found these XL cartridges, and while they won't outlast a laser printer's, they are far superior to the standard ones. I'm delighted with the print quality and longevity of these.
These same 4 cartridges purchased at a local Wal-Mart would cost you $110.00. This is a great bargain for quality ink. I DO buy singles from time to time as I always run out of one of the 3 colors more quickly than the other 2 but as a general rule, I buy this 4 pack.
Cons: None except the price dropped bucks since I placed my order last week, that's life.

Edited on June 10, 2012 to add: I've purchased these several times, and the last time I thought I got a bad set, but actually the cartridges are fine. Owners of this printer know that the cartridges fit into a cartridge holder, and that the ink flows through this holder to the paper. After a while, the cartridge holder gets clogged up and while I bought a new one, before I installed it, I decided to try the internet advice to wash out the old holder. I'm lazy, I ran the holder through the dishwasher (after making sure there was no food debris in the machine) and took it out before the heat/dry cycle started. I blasted the water away with canned air and then let the holder air dry over night and my printer is good as new.Edited on February 19, 2011 to add: Be aware that the low ink indicator on your printer is not very accurate.

I have worked with computers, printers, and technology in general for the last 11 years. I also sell and service PCs, consult, and spent 3 years as an assistant to our Systems Administrator helping manage 28 printers and 112 workstations. We use HP products exclusively when it comes to printers and the original HP Branded cartridges when replacing ink. I have tried refills, generics, etc. and nothing I have used comes close. I own 2 HP printers with one being a 6500 all-in-one wireless. I use this printer each Sunday to print fifty-five 8-12 page PowerPoint handouts and I have always opted for the XL version. The additional ink over the normal size cartridge is a bargain when actually calculating milliliters-per-penny.These same 4 cartridges purchased at a local Wal-Mart would cost you $110.00.

My HP printer will not work if the cartridges do not pass their test. They passed. I gave it only 3 stars because some of the toner cartridges had expiration dates too close to the actual expiration date for my comfort. While it was packaged as a 4 set, each cartridge had it's own box and expirations date. Two were almost expired and the other 2 would expire in a few months. Other similar purchases from other vendors gave me much more leeway with the expiration date of these toner cartridges.

Genuine Epson ink cartridges 3-pack for CX5000 CX6000 CX7400F Reviews
Colors are good.
However, the ink level indicator shows it's empty when there is still a lot left in them.
When the indicator show the cart. is near half empty, it showed completely empty all of sudden. So, I had to put in a new one. What a waste!!
In my opinion, it's not worth it to buy these generic one.
This whole InkJet printer business is a SCAM! I will never buy an InkJet again. Laser printer from now on and just print color in OfficeDepot or Xerox when I need it.

This is a WARNING to all of you Inkjet users out there. I finally found out why my inks have been going out fast. If you use your InkJet only occasionally for special printing then read on. I bought an Epson Workforce 610 in 2009. I always buy Epson Inks at Sams Club and never used other brands. I recently bought 4 High Capacity Epson InkJet Inks (68) from EpsonStore.com to replace 1 empty Magenta and a Black that was almost out and keep the rest as reserves. Once Magenta was installed, I did a regular Nozzle Check and as a result needed to do a Head Cleaning. I followed the directions in the manual (4X and wait 6 hours if problem persist and try again). During the first 4 tries, my black ran out. Assuming that I did not have much left on it in the first place I replaced it. Now I have 2 new, high-capacity inks in place. Problem was still there so I waited. The next morning, I tried printing again and did Nozzle check and Head cleaning for another 4 times. During this time again, the Yellow and Cyan went out! I was surprised because I still had it half-full at the beginning. So, I replaced them both and now have 4 new high-capacity inks installed at this time. At the end of the 8th try, the Black is half-empty, Magenta with 1/4 left, Cyan half-empty, and Yellow full. Through this I only have been printing Nozzle Check test prints. This prints are very light with very thin lines that should not even make a dent to the new ink cartridges. Now, where the heck did all my ink go? I called Epson Tech Support and got the tech-person to admit that the ink was going to an "ink pad" inside the printer. I was not even aware that there is an ink pad inside it. The manual states that it does use ink when doing Head Cleaning (and not that much ink) and an ink pad was not mentioned there anywhere! If this is true, this "ink pad" must be really soaked with ink! I was advised to call EpsonStore and make a return. All this ink cost me $70 and so I demanded a refund. EpsonStore will not refund my money because items were already opened. I demanded at least to give me a new set of ink (4) so when I get my printer repaired (which I won't), I will have some ink to use. They called corporate and gave me an exemption and new inks will be sent. This printer is going straight to the garbage. Those inks (when they get here) is going straight to eBay.This whole InkJet printer business is a SCAM! I will never buy an InkJet again. Laser printer from now on and just print color in OfficeDepot or Xerox when I need it.

InkTec Refill Kit for Canon CLI-221C, CLI-221M, CLI-221Y Inkjet Review
Inkjet printers are notorious for spraying your precious ink into the sponge at the bottom of your printer. Since most of the ink is wasted anyways, getting cheaper ink and refilling it yourself is a good way to save money, and not be heartbroken when you try to print from a cartridge that you used once, but find it is already empty.
The kit itself is easy to use, all you do is use the screw tool to remove the rubber ball from the top of the tank, put the cartridge in the holder, plug one of the ends (bottom one), stick a needle onto the ink bottle, and fill from the top of the tank, then put another plug in it and let it sit. In about 5 minutes, the cartridge should be good as new.(Leave the plug in the top of the cartridge, and make sure it stays in.)
Another thing is the kit does not come with a ink level resetter, so you have to monitor the ink levels yourself.
6 weeks later....2 of the cartidges started leaking for some unknown reason..I thought it ruined my print head as everything dried up after the leak. Luckily I was able to clean the head with windex and get it working again. But I am done with fill it yourself!
Refill instruction in video format below... much more clear than reading instruction.

This is an ok product. I won't order again once I finish it though. I've filled one cartridge so far. MAKE SURE the cartridge is pushed completely into the holder so it is level before doing the sponge soak. I didn't and Ink went everywhere...but that was my fault. What I don't like is that you have to disable the ink monitoring function in the cartridge. So you won't know when it's empty again until you see changes in the things you print. The ink works well though. No problems there. All in all pretty easy to fill also.6 weeks later....2 of the cartidges started leaking for some unknown reason..I thought it ruined my print head as everything dried up after the leak.

I am like most people these days, money is a little tight. To save money I purchased a set of substandard ink from an on line company. When I put the ink in my printer, it was one of the worst experiences that I have ever had. All though there was still a lot of ink left in the cartridges, for some reason my printer stopped printing. I called the company and explained what happened. I admit they were nice about my problem and sent me more ink. The new ink did exactly what first ink had done. I finally got fed up and I purchased a set of Lexmark ink from Amazon. I placed the Lexmark ink in my printer and the results were fantastic. My color printing is perfect. My black and white printing looks crisp and professional. I printed fifty invitations on my printer yesterday, I checked the ink levels on my printer and barely any ink was used. I find that the Lexmark ink lasts much, much longer than the inexpensive inks. Which in the long run, it means that The Lexmark ink is the best value. I have learned my lesson! I will never use any other ink but Lexmark in my printer.

It must admit when it comes to aftermarket inkjet cartridges I AM VERY SKEPTICAL! And leary! I don't want substandard cartridges leaking, exploding or just simply not communicating with my printers,
So when I first browsed this product months ago I gave it it's due look look and came back some five months later and again checked the reviews and they were good! More than good, they were great! So I purchased them and so far, so good. They loaded smooth, they lit up meaning that the talked to my Canon PIXMA MX922 printer9405511899560406474535
and all was well and they passed the alignment test better than the Canon originals Wow!
So the last two tests will be photos and longevity. My grandson wants me to print up some photos that I took of him and his buddies so when that is completed that will be one of the biggest tests, the other big test is the life of the cartridges, will they last as long or longer than the original Canon cartridges.
I will be back each time to update my review after each milestone has been completed.
I want to thank Robert Blake of Blake Printing Supply for contacting and thanking me as well; and assuring me that the company will stand by their products if there are any issues at all, the man is a class act.

Buy Epson Stylus Photo R800 and R1800 Cleaning Cartridges / printhead
Epson designs its printers with a printhead to clogging if the printer is not used regularly. A seriously clogged printhead makes the R800 a fairly expensive, bulky paperweight. These little guys, though expensive, will unclog the head, eventually. I had to run the cleaning process over a month, but it does work. The set consists of eight separate cartridges that were happily accepted by the printer. A solid product to address a flaw in the Epson.

Review of DataProducts 60418 60418 Compatible Ink Refill Kit, Tri-Color
After years of pumping money into the high-priced cartridges for my Officejet (here, try my other arm), I bought Dataproducts' refill system for the black 96 cartridge.
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.
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.
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.

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.
