How to Refill a Hewlett Packard Ink Cartridge
You can save money by refilling your existing Hewlett Packard ink cartridges. Refill kits are cheaper than new cartridges and result in less waste. There are refill kits available for both color and black ink cartridges. The only downside to refilling your own ink cartridges is the possible mess involved. By being careful, you can avoid the mess and spend more time printing than cleaning up spilled ink.
