What is the downside of do-it-yourself inkjet refill kits?
Although refilling inkjet cartridges yourself is probably one of the cheapest alternatives, it can be a frustrating, labor intensive process. Inkjet refill kits come with syringes or squeeze bottles, and it is very difficult to manage either one without spilling a drop. Ink leaks and splatters are messy and can ruin your clothing, carpet and furniture, costing you way more than you will save. With any type of refill kit, always wear gloves to keep from staining your skin. If you think refilling an ink cartridge yourself is worth considering, make sure that you have protected your clothing, desk and carpeting before you begin. And you always want to refill your cartridges as soon as possible, so the spongy inside material doesn’t dry up.
