Can the ink cartridges be refilled? And/or will it work with after market cartridges?

The ink cartridges cannot be refilled. As for the aftermarket ink cartridges, I can't say. We printed maybe five pages a month, and every time I went near this thing, I was replacing at least one ink cartridge @ about $15. We no longer print with it; use it as a scanner only. After my experience with this thing, I will never buy another Epson product. The irony here is this was a Consumer Reports Best Buy... They sure blew that one.Tom

No and no, the ink is ridiculously expensive and doesn't last as long as it should. Don't even get me started on the ink pads. Don't walk away from this printer..:run!

Don't know. But these printers are so hated that you should able to find one used and in good condition for almost nothing and try it out.

I think the ink will work but be sure the hp don't have its own kind of ink made for it, also the hp might have a code to keep you from using any refill attempt. but maybe able to bypass it look for repair man to decode.

This return program cartridge should definitely work if it is the right one for your printer, even if you were to refill it with a kit you found ,it would still read empty or not full because the chip on the back would have to be reset and I don't knpow if anyone other then Lexmark can reset it at this time.That's why people are having problems with after market refilled cartridges.

I have slightly enlarged a few to refill.. But stopped. I found that my Canon Chip resetter (Amazon $6) didn't always reset on some used units. Besides I buy Amazon Cartridges so cheap, it's not worth getting Ink all over my fingers & sink cleanup (for a few pennies) They're so cheap, & good Canon ink isn't free. 1 vendor's case for my MG5220 B wouldn't fit.. ( I wouldn't waste 46 cents to mail it back to Amazon) since all the other carts were OK since I bought extras. Suggest you try 2 different Amazon suppliers to validate their quality to see what works for you!

NO, BEWARE! They sent me both Epson & generic refilled cartridge it works with the Epson only and the printer will not run and reject you for using a non- Epson. just after that my printer never worked again. Tried everything to fix it , brought a new printer cheaper than to pay to fix. Pay the extra money for the right fit.

I'm sure they can but I've never of great results on refilled cartridges, new ones aren't too expensive and work very well, I would stick with them although you could try refills.

I was unable to get mine refilled, too. I was able to use the aftermarket new ones, though, which are a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, their shelf life is almost gone by the time you use them, and after a few weeks they go bad. Inkjet Printer ink has a very short shelf life, less than a year. If you do not do a lot of printing, like me, then it's better to do your all your printing in a commercial printer. It's not worthy to have to keep buying ink every two months.

I have used aftermarket ink in at least 5 different Epson inkjet printers without problem. I have not yet used up the ink in this printer, and have not searched for aftermarket suppliers. If you have a problem with clogging that cannot be remedied yourself, and you need warranty repair, Epson will not honor if they can tell you used aftermarket ink. There are pretty good deals on OEM ink, so unless you find a very reputable aftermarket ink supplier with lots of good reviews, stick with Epson OEM ink

I have a Waterman and use the refillable cartridges. Use Waterman ink of course and I believe I was able to get that through Amazon. This particular model was intended to be a gift but designed in the same principle. You can purchase the ready cartridges. Actually, either work and it is really up to you. I left the choice up to the recipient of my gift.

Well, start with the fundamentals: Is the black cartridge in the correct slot where the black cartridge should go? If you put the old cartridge back in, does it work? Do you see the ink level show up when you query the device?

As far as I know you can. There are kits you can buy and or have a vendor that specializes in doing that. They test the cartridge then load it then test it again. I only bought some refilled units back several years ago but I have not for quite awhile. Wish you the best.

I have successfully used re-manufactured (refilled) cartridges. Although there is a trick to using them. After you install one, the machine will tell you the cartridge is "low ink". After a few pages it says it's out of ink and the warning light comes on. (Do NOT Cancel your Print Job!) Press and hold the Red "Stop" button for about 5 seconds and the warning light will turn off. The display will then show "unknown ink volume" or something similar. You are now good to print until the cartridge actually runs out of ink.

You can refill the cartridges, I've done it before. You just need to be sure to buy the refill ink and chip that goes on the cartridge

I recently tried remanufactured ink cartridges for a wf2630 printer and printer would not recognize them. Do you have any that will work?

I don't know yet. The cartridges I intend to refill are not yet empty. It all looks as if it will work.

Rodrigo you have to check. However i think this work with all cartridges. You have to remember if you cartridges have the holes for the ink in the uper level you can do it For me was a little hard in the beginning but as soon as you understand how to do it, it's worth the effott and theoney you save vs cartridges regular price. Ps. The color is NOT high quality. Hope this help
