After these cartridges are empty, can they be re-filled? for example, Costco has inc refill services.

Yes they can...it's a ness but if you have use the printer for hundreds of copies and have a station to keep bottles of ink than you're better off refilling!

I'm really not sure they can. Like most HP cartridges, there is a computer chip that tells the printer when the cartridge is empty. I don't believe you can override this but based on the other two responses, perhaps I'm wrong about that. Personally for the cost of these cartridges, I would just purchase a new set. They are cheap enough at half the price of the OEM.

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.

Yes! I had some cartridges sitting around awhile and used the ink refill, it worked great. Just be careful not to scrape the bottom of your spare cartridges while sitting around or they're doomed. :(

Cartridges come with ink in them and simply snap in the pen. Once it is empty, you could either refill by usage of a syringe or snap another cartridge in. Converters replace cartridges and in the long run, save you money as they are reusable...not disposable. To refill, draw the piston of the converter down by twisting counterclockwise on the converter. Then, dip the entire nib into your ink and slowly fill up the converter by twisting clockwise. Once filled, draw out a drop of ink to remove any possible air bubbles that might cause skipping during writing.

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.

When I purchased, yes. They provide you with what equates to two complete refills of your printers ink. 10 carts, 2 of each of the cmy, 1 small k and one large k.

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).

I'm sure it's possible. I have not done it. I have purchased professionally recycled HP factory cartridges, refilled for a lower cost and was very pleased. There's always the danger of leakage and equipment damage. That's why I purchased from a credible experienced recycler.

Hello Janill, Let me start by saying that yes you can have costco refill these for you. What I dont do anymore is have time time to run into costco to get them filled. Based on my calculations. It costs me around $7.75 per 2 pack of color number 96 HP cartridge pack. These also go under the name of used/refilled/refurbished. I ordered a 3 pack that came free of shipping to replace the older cartridges and had them in 2 days with my prime membership. You can tell that they should be recycled back to amazon or third party as they all can be reused over and over again. I personally save mine by putting the caps back on then keeping them ready to take to Costco or Staples, even officemax. Depending on where you live, and the model of HP you can always go the third route by ordering new from a generic company called INK4WORK they are available for around $18 a pack compared to $46 to $66 that HP wants online at the amazon wherehouse. Thinking of it, Im going to order another 6 pack of refurbished black HP AIO 7500 series ink cartridges right now while im thinking of it for my Soho. Good luck. I hope that you find what your looking for. I have 2 machines and Im thinking of adding a third fax machine along with the new T1 that i ordered. have a good day, Drew

Costco will not refill these. I had original Epson cartridges and they would not touch them. They are mostly doing HP and Canon.

that would probably work if the nozzle will fit in them. I had good luck with these until I was hauling the Epson printer back and forth to Corpus Christi from houston for work and the cartridges leaked all over inside the printer pretty much damaging it beyond easy repair. I chunked it in the recycle bin and bought a Brother multifunction unit that has so far served me well. I haven't attempted refilling the cartridges on it. Hope this helps!

No, you reuse the plastic cap that you remove to empty and then refill the cartridge. I've never found this to be a problem as long as you don't destroy the cap as you remove it.

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

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

All cartridges can be recycled. It depends on who you deal with. The manufacturer have the resource to recycle but there are local choices who will recycle plastic or refill with reman toners for resale.

I've always thrown the cartridges away. I've never tried to refill any cartridges. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.
