i have been printing LOTS of coupons
so last time i bought ink i bough the refillable kind off ebay for like 10.00 (always buy my ink on ebay and dog advantage for fleas)

well i started running out of black..and was looking in to ordering the refill kits..which i really didnt have the money and its like 15-20.00

so the kit i originally got came with the needle to suck the ink out and transfer...i went through my cabinets and found some ink cartridges that didnt match my printer and sucked out the black and refilled my other cartridge and it works perfectly..i was frugal..lol and i still have one or two for each color now..so im good for a while..i did get black ink all over my hand but it was gone by the next day.

I've used syringes to refill my calligraphy cartridges too. Its a great idea since I know we have ink cartridges for our old printer too.

what a great idea!! seems obvious now that you say it, but i never would have thought of doing that myself!! high five chica!!

Just be sure to use cartridges from the same maker...less likely to have incompatible ink which can really gum up your printer
