Can you refill the ink cartridges yourself?

Yes, it's really easy. The ink compartment is on the front, right hand side of the printer. You can just pop open the compartment and insert the ink cartridge into the appropriate slot (they have color-coded tabs). You can hear the cartidge click into place when it's locked. When you want to change out an empty ink cartridge for a new one, simply press the appropriate color-coded tab and the cartridge will be unlocked, and you can pull it out and insert a new one. You can buy the ink cartridges separately; I think my printer came with some ink cartridges when i bought it.

i buy cheap ink that is compatable with the printer off of amazon. worrying about voiding the warranty is pure folly. they never honor warranties, and a printer is about $100 bucks when the additional warranty is 75% of that. never buy a warranty for anything that costs less than $500---it is a total waste of your money!

Yes, although it's probably best to buy pre-filled refillable cartridges. They are transparent and come with plugs to seal the fill hole. That way, it is easy to see when they need refilling and easy to refill the ones that need refilling. The cartridges are relatively inexpensive and available on Ebay.

Check your warrenty. If the printer is still under warrenty you will void the warrenty if you use any ink other than Brother Ink Cartridges.

Yes you can. It is really hard to find the printer cartridges though. If it wasn't for that, it would be a great printer.

You absolutely can. I bought the same ink reservoir and have not bought another cartridge. It is finicky though and must but set up just right so take your time and be careful. I even notched a small groove out of my printer so that the ink hose does not crimp. But yes it can be done and I only refilled the black ink once in a year. Good luck!

Not sure. They are so cheap as a set that it may not be worth that effort.When I purchased them the set was about $6.00. They were exactly like the Cannon cartridges, so I would think you could refill them.

Yes but these are not as full as the replacement ones. I suggest you get the high capacity black ink cartridge when it's time for replacements.

Yes I have used Costco to refill the ink cartridges. Unfortunately, the printer is not recognizing it as new or authorized cartridge and keeps sending messages that the ink is low, even a few print jobs after a newly refilled cartridge is installed. I take them back to Costco and they refill for free, but it continues to happen.

I don't know as I just buy them in the packages they have available.....most places locally (which are diminishing very quickly) won't try to refill anything but the OEM cartridge and then sometimes they are picky on that depending on the brand.........sometimes their cartridges don't work either and to eliminate the hassle I switched to buying these on the net......that's about all I can tell you...

No they do not. Remanufactured ink, regardless of what printer it was remanufactured for is not worth the money. The ink cartridges are not recognized by your printer and it is of very poor quality. They leak, the colors are not true. Save yourself the aggravation and buy the real deal.

Yes - If you're using refillable cartridges, you can replace the entire cartridge with a new, different ink cartridge. DON'T MIX THE TWO INKS IN THE SAME CARTRIDGE. Also, if you HAVE A CIS (Continuous Ink System), then you would have to replace the entire CIS - remove the tube line that leads from the ink source & replace it with a new system along with the new ink you're using. If you don't, the inks will mix and/or be distributed differently (some of the old blue with some of the new red) as it disperses through the feed tubes and you won't get true results from using the new ink. Also, I WOULD NOT go back and forth from sub ink to non sub ink. Let your sublimation printer be dedicated to sublimation ink.

I was able to refill cartridges, but the printer continued to say 'out of ink'. It wouldn't recognize my generic refill. It comes with fairly small cartridges and to buy Canon ink costs more than a new printer. It's a dilemma.

Not sure with a kit, but when I have taken them in to a place to get them refilled, I'm told that Lexmark cartridges are "NOT" refillable...

I'm not sure, but for $15, I wouldn't go through the headache! I have refilled cartridges in the past and it was a messy job :).

Yes, INKXPRO sells refill bottles of ink. I have used their system with good success. Just go th their website.

Yes you do, however be careful, the ink has a tendency to leak after the refills

You must google HOW TO REFILL INK CARTRIDGE FOR ___________. Type in your printer and then search for instructions. I just bought clear refillable cartridges for two of my printers to make it easier. If you buy refillable cartridges all you have to do is pull out the rubber plug and inject the ink. Without refillable ones you have to drill a hole in your cartridge in the correct spot and guess at how much ink to inject. Then plug the hole you made with glue from a hot glue stick. Can get messy. Wear plastic gloves. Filling your own is definitely a money saver.

Yes. It comes with a syring and you can buy bottles of ink to fill at home. You should be able to take them to Costco and other ink stations to refill (though I haven't had a need to fill mine just yet).
