While refilling ink cartridges yourself is the cheapest, it is not
necessarily the best way to go. Refilling can be messy. If your print
cartridge has a chip in it, the refill may work the first time, but may
refuse to work as the cartridge is reused and ages. Using
remanufacturered and off-brand cartridges is also chancy. They may leak
causing print head damage. If your printer is old or you only paid $30
for it, the cost savings may be worthwhile. If you paid $150 or more for
your printer, you may want to stick to purchasing cartridges from the
manufacturer.

Refilling can be messy if you're not careful, so take your time over it.
If your print cartridge has a chip in it, you can get software to reset
the chip. Using remanufacturered and off-brand cartridges can also be a
money saver. They're unlikely to leak or cause print head damage. If
your printer is old or you only paid $30 for it, throw it away. If you
paid $150 or less for your printer, you may want to buy a better quality
one.

Yes, we got the message the first time.
