Refilling ink at home? Can the MP530 ink be refilled at home with standard ink refill kits?

I fill the ink tanks using the ink syringe-- now the Alarm light comes on right after power-up. Nothing works when the Alarm light is on. How do I disable this?

I refill my mp530 cartridges with Inktek ink, but I bought a cartridge resetter from an auction site. With this little item, it is very simple to reset the cartridge, and the printer reads the refilled cartridges just like oem.

Yes, according to all the sellers on the certain huge online auction site not-to-be-named. But, you have to keep in mind that the chip and printer will forever remember each other and the printer will continue to give you a pop up stating your ink is low, when in fact you just filled it. The ink level is a guesstimate and not an actual level indicator. You can buy off-brand cartridges and put the old chip on them, but they will show as empty. You have to force the driver to accept that you wish to keep using the "empty" tanks. It works, it's just annoying.

Great info! Will you be stuck with low ink dialog box even if you go back to OEM ink cartridges?

Hello, I bought 5 sets of ink cartridges off of a seller on that large auction site thinking I would save loads of money. Followed the instuctions to a tee and my printer now does not recognize the chips. Tried reset hold/ OK hold, nothing. Wasted 36 bucks on 35 cartridges I cannot use, not to mention the huge mess when you open the "pressurized" new cartridges. Ink on clothing and desk with no fore-warning. Avoid the refill cartridges that you have to pull off the chip and reset it on the new cartridge unless you love throwing money away while becoming totally annoyed and exasperated at this exercise in futility.

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. BesidesI 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! I have slightly enlarged a few to refill..

Besides ink, I bought a Waterman Fountain Pen Ink Converter which I can refill. In fact, I bought multiple of them so I can keep them filled with different color ink. Very convenient for me as I don't have to buy refill cartridges all the time.

What do you mean refitables? The refills are single use. The converters allow you to refill the ink reservoir, each time it empties. You can use different inks, but you must rinse the converter and the pen nib completely with plain water before using a different color or ink from a different manufacturer.

It looks like the MP280 uses the PG-210 (or PG-210XL which is just a higher capacity of ink). This is the exact cartridge my Pixma MX340 uses, and I use this kit to refill all the time. Works great!

The original cartridges that come with the Artisan are not refillable. This ink is specifically targeting the Continuous Ink System (CIS) and works well for that application.

takes a standard refill , keep the little do-dads (& spring) on your original ink cartridge to place on the new refill~

You can get it direct from XPRO. I just use regular ink I can buy by the pint. Just as good, and a lot less expensive.

The 1 of 2 special refillable cartridge types you'll need to chose from are easily found if you do an Amazon search for "<Your specific printer make and model> CIS". refill cartridge" and "<Your specific printer make and model> CIS". CIS = Continuous Ink System. I went with the cheapest one I could find in Dec'09 and it's still works GREAT & has saved me $$$! Tip: Wear surgical gloves when refilling ink! These special cartridges come with a reset button to fool your printer into thinking you've put brand new cartridges in.

There is a compatible system on Amazon. You need to search by the type of printer you own. You can't just take an system and throw it it. Also, there are issues with the systems. I bought one and one of the cartridges leaked in the box. I'm looking ot get refillable cartridges without the connecting reservoir. Less issues that way. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Doffice-products&field-keywords;=deskjet+1000+continuous+ink&rh;=n%3A1064954%2Ck%3Adeskjet+1000+continuous+ink Found this. Maybe it'll help. Do lots of research before you commit to buy. Read the reviews even though a lot may be biased. At least you will get a better idea of what it is and whether or not you really want to chance it on a reservoir system. There is a compatible system on Amazon.

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.

Yes, you can use the cartridges in the kit 5 pieces, and refillable cartridge for ispolzovyvaniya. where to buy ink I do not know. I live in Russia. I buy ink "Parker" we are $ 15 for two ounces.

Yes, it can be refilled but I wouldn't recommend it. I've done it and I'm wasn't happy with the refill. I buy new cartridges now....

If you want to use your own ink you'll need a converter, otherwise you're stuck using the one time non refillable ink cartridges by Lamy. I believe the converter is called the Z24.

I use the refillable reservoir with Pilot Namiki Standard Fountain Pen Ink, Blue (69201) and have been happy. You can also buy the Pilot Namiki fountain pen ink cartridges which are less hassle but not re-usable.

I have never refilled the pen, however, there is a several ink refills, that fit the pen. Either thru a supply store or online.

I'm sure (but not positive) that you can order a black ink refill kit. I have bought several black only refill kits for my HP printer. I doubt that you can just buy the black tube of ink, though. The black refill kits I buy cost $13.95. I only buy the black refills.
