Off Topic - Remanufactured Ink Jet Cartridge

Thanks for the feedback, "leaking cartridge" was enough to cancel this task
from my todo list.

Thanks

Patrick

I use remanufactured Laser cartridges but had nothing but trouble with the
ink cartridges. The print quality was not as good or consistent and it only
took getting q-tips out to clean the innards of a DeskJet that suffered from
a leaking cartridge to make me swear them off. Maybe they've gotten better
but they scared me off.

Patrick,

Just a couple of things I noticed.

Check the weight of the remanufactured vs the real-deal. Note the duty
cycle. The cheapies we used to get were being changed frequently. I
believe the good ones last much longer.

Check the cost. We were paying almost as much for the refurbs as HP wanted
for new ones.

HP shudders when you mention using refurbs (they specifically say in the
manuals do not use them) - doesn't hurt the sales of their "official"
cartridges either, but I think there's a reason for it.

The repair service we use for printers said buy the good cartridges -
especially for the ones that have a roller drum included in the cartridge.
They can seize-up and burn out the motor.

Still your call.

I've used remanufactured InkJets at home a lot. Depending on the
manufacturer, I've had good success and bad luck. Remanufactured from
Office Max were junk. 4 total failures in a row. But then I bought
from a little hole in the wall store that kept accepting and giving back
the expired discount coupon, and didn't have one failure. (I was going
through 3 or 4 cartridges a week for a while)
