There is an article on the front page of the business section of today's New
York Times (02/04/06) regarading purchase of refilled cartridges. They
touch very briefly on home refilling as well. This appears to be a growing
market.

Thanks, Burt, very interesting article. Refillers use some ingenious
refilling machines (suck out the old ink, flush and clean, and then
refill). I figure I'm saving enough money through home refilling, I
should soon be able to get me one of those fancy $200,000 refilling
machines. :-)

Best part was the closing comment: "Indeed, one day (OEM) ink may be as
cheap as Champagne." That's true, I can afford Champagne but not ink.
It really makes you shake your head. Right now the price of ink for most
printers here in Canada is over half the price of a new printer - with
ink! Suckin' the money right out of you . . .

Decent article but wonder why the author didn't acknowledge David
Packard, after all the Co's name is Hewlett Packard not the Hewlett
Co. At least it was so the the 25+ yrs I worked for them.

Too bad the article focused so much on HP inkjets as their integrated
printheads are designed to be as cheap as they can and still perform
well for a single shot cart not intended to be refilled.

THAT IS TERRIFIC. NO NORMAL PERSON WANTS TO WASTER THEIR TIME REFILLING
A MESSY CART.

You're still suffering from those hundreds of thousands of aftermarket
cartridges you filled while in prison, aren't you Francis?
