Why are you asking that question? Do you want to justify buying a new
printer by trashing the one you have?

No.

I have an epson stylus color 480 (in good working order), and i also
have 1liter of HP black ink.
I am wondering if i can refill the epson cartridge with that HP ink.
Thanks for your message

The troll's answer to your question was predictable. He is obsessed
against refilling any ink jet any time, any way. His answer should be
taken for what it is worth, and you can decide its worth by reading his
other posts, if you can stomach them.

I can't answer your question from personal experience, but there may
very well be those here that can. My speculation would be that it would
probably be OK, particularly if the printer is flushed out before the
replacement ink is used. However, you didn't state whether the HP ink
you have is pigmented or dye-based. HP has used both, and it could make
a difference.

Ignore the above paragraph. This time, Measekite is right. I don't know
what the hell I'm talking about, and it's not MY printer or MY money. I
shouldn't have posted it. You should listen to somebody in the refill
business, rather than a farmer who knows nothing of such things. Ask me
about growing vegetables or making horse hay, and I can safely
speculate. But about printers - nope.

One of these days I may learn to speak only from my personal experience,
and not speculate. Of course, it probably is that Measekite and I are of
a kind in this regard. He speculates outside HIS experience, too - and
posts it much more often than I do.

You might look on the Image Specialist web site. They list their stock
numbers for the inks for various printers. If you know the cart numbers of
the two printers you can check them out to see if the same replacement inks
are used for both. I have noticed that there are some inks that they sell
for more than one manufacturer's printers. If you get match you might then
call them to verify that their ink for both carts is the same. IS is a very
large US in manufacturer.
 
Unlikely. Besides that HP makes many ink formulations, both dye and
pigment depending if it is from/for their photo printer cartridge or
not, the ink is designed for thermal print heads as the HP uses. The
Epson printer that you own uses dye inks, but they are designed for
piezo heads, they each require different formulations, drying speeds,
etc. I wouldn't suggest it.

I've been filling HP 1510 with ink for Canon ip4000 with great success. Just
remove the sticker and use the fill-holes. Then put back he sticker. The carts
are small and have their own printheads. Carts are good for about 10-15 refills
and then go bad and have to replaced. Ink saving are substantial.
