There have been notes posted recently about refilling HP DeskJet cartridges using a syringe to inject ink into the sponge inside the cartridge. Has anyone out there tried a similar procedure with HP PaintJet cartridges? We produce many mostly-blue 8-color FS dithered spectrograms here and usually end up throwing away a 3-color cartridge after using up the cyan, with most of the magenta and yellow remaining. I would like in particular to find a source of cyan ink that matches HP's as closely as possible. Also, does anyone know of quality 3rd party alternatives for these cartridges for less than about $18 each? Does anyone buy used cartridges or give trade-in allowances? Thanks. -Larry Granroth@IowaSP.physics.UIowa.edu IOWASP::GRANROTH
