HP color refill problems

There is some sponge inside, and sensor does not see the ink.

cart in a newer HP printer, the printer can "remember" only 2 carts, so
you just need to swap in one added cart before you insert the one you
wish to use, then it will think it's a new cart.
So you need 3 carts to rotate.
Same with black.

You didn't say which printer but none of them "see" the ink. The ink
monitors work by starting at full as a result of a new cartridges reset
and then they count the # of droplets that are jetted out until a
predetermined # says it is empty.
If the printer does not "recognize" the cartridge when trying to install
- that is a different problem then the ink monitor not working. For the
former, try cleaning the electronic interface on the cartridge with
lintless cloth and plain water (dry thoroughly).
If it's the ink monitor that is not working and you have an HP with a
chip ID system, here are the workarounds for that:
WORKAROUND #1 for ink monitor:
Here is the work around for refilling. The printer only has memory
for two cartridge ID's. Have 3 cartridges available (buy the
cheaper, partially filled cartridges as they are the same as the
full capacity ones and can be refilled to full capacity). Keep all
empties and refilled cartridges stored in a zip lock bag or similar
with head clips on. Remove the empty cartridge. Rotate the three
cartridges in the printer - ending with the one you want to use as
the replacement. It's ID will have been purged and the printer will
recognize it as new and the ink status monitor will work again.
But, keep in mind you will have to make allowances for the status
monitor as it will still think the cartridge is the lower capacity
one (if that is what you bought) even though you have refilled to
full capacity. So, you will have ink left even after the printer
thinks the cartridge is empty. My recommendation is to go ahead and
switch them when the monitor reads empty as refilling is more
trouble free when topping the cartridges off anyway. Also you won't
have to guess whether you will make it thru the next print job.
*************#2
Here is the HP workaround for restoring the ink staus
monitor. Keep in mind that if you are dealing wiht the "economy"
cartridge, this info is transmitted to the printer and even though
you refilled the cartridge to full capacity, the printer thinks it
is still the 1/2 filled capacity cartridge. So, your ink monitor
will register 1/2 the amount of ink actually available.
Install both refilled cartridges in the printer (or you can just do
one at a time) - Turn on the printer. - Open up the cover, remove
both cartridges. - Place both cartridges in front of you so that you
can see the contact foil, with the nozzles facing downwards. - With
adhesive tape, cover the four upper contact points on the far left
contact column of both cartridges - something like this: X . . . X .
. . X . . . X . . . . . . . . . . . - Reinsert the two cartridges. -
Close the cover. - Open the cover again after 2 or 3 seconds. - Wait
until the printer gives you the cartridge carriage (If there seems
to be a problem with either of the cartridges, ignore it) - Open the
cover, remove the two cartridges. - Place both cartridges infront of
you so that you can see the contact foil, with the nozzles facing
downwards. - Remove the adhesive tape. - With adhesive tape, cover
the four upper contact points on the far right contact column of
both cartridges - something like this: X . . . X . . . X . . . X . .
. . . . . . . . . - Reinsert the two cartridges. - Close the cover.
- Open the cover again after 2 or 3 seconds. - Wait until the
printer gives you the cartridge carriage (If there seems to be a
problem with either of the cartridges, ignore it) - Open the cover,
remove the two cartridges. - Remove the adhesive tape. - Clean the
contacts well. - Reinsert the two cartridges. - Close the cover. -
That's it !!!

Almost 100 lines (all snipped!) of "how to be a cheap fuck, and a
criminal, by not buying a real HP cart" .
If you look at the paperwork that comes with all new HP carts it is
plainly stated "Not licensed for modification" This "re-fill butt-hole"
doesn't care about the quality or legality of your printouts....he just
wants your $$$$ !!!!
You are breaking the licensing agreement by re-filling!!
Plus re-filled carts - never - give the quality of genuine HP cart
...why?
1. no one but HP has access to real HP quality ink..nobody!
2. re-filled carts almost always suffer from partially or non-firing
nozzles
3. re-filled carts do not give accurate ink level indications in HP
Toolbox
4. re-filled carts almost always leak on you..and inside your printer
5. if a re-filled cart damages your HP printer your warranty is VOID!
6. if you re-fill HP carts you won't sleep good at night....

I don't know exactly. I get quarterly investment reports from our CFP
but it only lists the various funds we are invested in. I may well have
many shares or none at all. But seriously Neal..what does that matter?
Huh? I am talking about doing the right thing and not the wrong
thing....that seems to be a difficult concept for many re-fillers to
grasp.
Especially for those that have so-called "re-filling paraphernalia"
to sell the unsuspecting buyer. Those morons pass this devious and
unlicensed act off as an everyday legal and "OK" thing to do while they
line their pockets and subject the end-users of their wares to possible
legal trouble and / or at the least losing warranty service on their HP
printer....
But I have it from extremely reliable sources that the day of the
re-filler is coming to and end....there will be advances in cart
security plus prosecution of a few well-known re-fillers and some time
behind bars as an example to the rest of those crooks. Ah yes..sweet
justice and the glory of paying full retail price! I LUV IT!

refilling cartridges but I think you need to review that information because
you have apparently misunderstood it. Cartridge refilling has been going on
for well over ten years and if there was anything illegal about it I am sure
the prisions would be filled with individuals with ink stained fingers by
now. HP can put anything they want on the side of their cartridge boxes. It
still does not make it illegal to refill them. It also does not void the
warranty. HP lost that court case already.

First offense re-fillers usually get 6 months to a year behind bars.
Repeat offenders have been known to get as many as 20+ years. And right
now in Kentucky there is a man on death-row for HP cart re-filling.
Read about this guys long string of bad luck here...

The printer companies are starting to really crack down now on
cartridge re-fillers. Is saving $30 worth a trip to prison folks? What
about the loss of your job, home, spouse, children....holy crap you'd
even lose your computer too!!
Play it safe and legal...always purchase only genuine HP carts...they
always work the best and give you no jail time....

Leaving out the CJ problem being mentioned in this thread, can someone
comment on the thread title?
I would be interested in hearing your experience in refilling or purchasing
refilled 78 series cartridges. My limitted expereince with commercial
refillers hasn't been too good. Companies have been honorable and returned
my $ but was hoping to hear some are having success in refilling these
carts.

The truth is that most folks get horrible results, if any at all, when
they attempt to re-fill a cart. There are many, many posts all over the
printer related groups and web sites of the net that detail the problems
people have with re-filled carts. Check it out for yourself.
Clogged nozzles, partially firing nozzles, no magenta, no yellow, no
cyan, ink spray all over the insides of the printer, and also a voided
HP warranty due to damage caused by re-filled carts.
It is not worth it. if you have such a high volume of printing to do
that carts are too expensive for your means then save a bundle of $$$,
wear-and-tear on your consumer-grade printer, and take the job over to
Kinko's.

difference in quality after several refills on one cart.
I would not buy a refilled or generic cart at any price.
Stop in at http://www.inkjetsaver.com/ , I'm using their system and very

this system.

ink out , then filling by gravity instead of injecting and finally
pulling the air out. The black carts are filled through the print head,
so there is no dirt introduced, and a solvent is used to clean them out.
I tried the inkjetrefills.com kit too, but wasn't as pleased with it as
the injetsavers.com kit. I was failing most of the time until I got

one refillers site.
Under the Magnuson-Moss warranty act and general principles set forth by the
Federal Trade Commission, a manufacturer may not require the use of their
brand of user replaceable consumables unless they are providing that item to
you free of charge under the terms of the warranty. It's the same thing when
General Motors recommends the use of GM oil and GM oil filters in their
automobiles for best performance.
Here are some excerpts and quotes from manuals and/or manufacturers
employees - complete with references:
"If refilling a cartridge damages the printer, then we may decline to fix
specific printer damage that is caused by the refilled cartridges..... But
it's not true that we do not honor warranties for people who refilled their
cartridges."
(Alison Graves, HP Employee)
Source: Gelles, Jeff, "Companies Specializing in cartridge refill kits -
makers of printers try to discourage use of such products. Still, doing so
would not necessarily negate a warranty," The Philadelphia Inquirer, (April
29, 1999), Page F1.
"Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing
the best results for output on Bubble Jet printers than any other
organization. Canon does not prohibit the use of third-party inks and the
use of third-party inks does not invalidate the product's limited warranty.
However, Canon cannot guarantee the quality or performance of your printer
when you are using inks from other suppliers."

Why is there no mention of breaking the law? Maybe has something to do with
