[comp.periphs.printers] DeskJet re-inking

arritt@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (10/21/90)

I apologize for asking this question, as I recall it has been discussed
in the past.  But I didn't have a DeskJet at the time, so: could someone
please let me know what the consensus answer was for re-inking of
DeskJet cartridges?  (i.e. general procedure and best type of ink)

(alternately, is this group archived somewhere?)

I thought Deskjet owners might be interested to know that Lyben
Computer Systems (313-649-4500) stocks "Ink Refills for HP Deskjet
Cartridges", made by Graphic Utilities.  It looks like a plastic
accordion-style squeeze bottle.  They cost $8.95 for a single refill
(Black, LCS# 3571), $12.95 for a 2-pack (#3572); and $15.95 for a 2-pack
refill in either red, green, or blue (3573,-5,-4).

Of course, the new smear-less ink cartridges from HP are due out in Nov.
I have one, and it's the same part number, but has "New Ink" highlighted
in a sunburst circle on the front.

You SHOULD get the new ink, I purchased some from our Bookstore and put
a page of text in the sink, and it didn't run, I must tell you I was
shocked.  Ok, it ran a bit, but wet fingers and condensed water on the
outside of your Coke can do no cause the ink to run.  I don't know what
the base for this new ink is but whatever HP did is was impressive, this
stuff has brough new life into my DeskJet, look into it.
