I have a hp 6122 and am very happy with it.
I am currently at the 6 refill for the 78 cart and the 4 for the 45.There is
no color problems or banding or nozzle check defects.
The question is: Does anybody know how many times i can refill them until
the get fried?

PS: i never let them dry

THANK'S A LOT !!!

All right, I've got to ask. This is carrying the wayward apostrophe a
little too far. Why did you put an apostrophe in "THANKS"? Have you EVER
seen it written that way in your life?

Thanks a lot,

6 is about the limit for the 78, quality will degrade soon.
For the 45, there's really no limit, but again quality will slowly slip away
after 6-8.
 
ok thank you for the reply.
But why the 45 lasts more than the 78?
Isn't strange?The 45 takes 40 ml of ink and the 78 10ml of each color.So
4refills x 40 = 160ml and for the 78 10ml x 6refills = 60ml of each color.
 
Some times when i perform a nozzle check i notice that from the printed
pattern some lines are missing.But are missing exactly the same lines from
all the 3 colors.How is it possible?

This is an indication that one of the cartridge's control lines is not working;
the lines are shared across all the colors. Try cleaning the contacts as shown

Bullshit. So you were typing so fast you just accidentally put an
apostrophe between K and S? Try some high speed proofreading.

Heck the #45 at LEAST 10X
the #78 can go 10X @ 12ml a chamber ...but thats rare more like 6-7X
Great carts the 45 / 78

Can also be air bubbles Eh you need to use a priming suck tool with syringe.
OR JAcks downunder method which I use to remove all air

The 78 has smaller diameter jets I believe, so wear would have a bigger relative
effect. When I used to refill 78 cartridges, the first sign of wear was a
general blurriness to photo prints after about 5 refills.
 
OK
Today i did a nozzle check and everything was ok.When i printed a full color
page, i got exactly the same missing lines.
Is this an airlock?Is it possible happening to the 3 colors at the same
time?The contacts are ok.
 
Hard resetting the printer as in the link below is useful
information......put it in my reference file.
