I saw this company posted on another site and wondered if anyone has used their ink refill systems? I am currently using an ip4300 canon and was looking for something to lower my cost on ink. Its not terrible on inks but with the number of prints I've been doing lately I'd like to see if I can control my costs a bit. I can get 4oz refill bulk containers of each of my colors for 8.50 each. Meanin that I could refill the carts about 4 times for less then the cost of one refill from the store. I've read reviews of their systems that use bulk and saw good things, but I'd like someone that has used them to chime in and tell me the pro's and cons of refilling your own carts. BTW refilling the ip4300 carts is simply a matter of pouring it back in no needles needed. Thanks

Bump for the evening crowd. I'm almost out of Magenta and might try to order some this week if anyone can give me some input. Thanks

It would depend on what you are using it for. Printing crap or Prints with your name on it? All the things I read on "cheaper inks" usually end up with them not up to spec as your OEM inks are. They don't last as long (defined in years), fade quicker, run, and not the same colors.
I did alot of reading on different ones and decided if I am going to print something with my NAME on it, I wanted the OEM.

You can always profile your printer with the ink and paper you use. The big issue with aftermarket inks is fade resistance. Some last a long time and some fade quite quickly.
