I've never heard of that.
Almost everyone I know refills a variety of cartriges. I do know that Colored Cartriges do not refill at home and work. But they do well if you take then to a refill stores, where they do it professionally, many malls of places that refill cartriges.
BLACK cartriges on the other hand do well filling them at home. I have done it for years. Mine is an HP.
I by IMS Ink Refill System. I get it for 16.00 at Costco, it comes with colored one's which I throw away. But it has three black refill bottles and that allows me to refill my black cartrige at least nine times. So that's just a few dollars per refill. This system booklet and I'm looking at it now clearly shows that it can be used to refill EPSON cartriges. It lists everything from SO20034-SO20147 and too1, T003, T005, TT013 and 14, T019 and 20.
Whatever system you try, find one that comes with a booklet, that explains how to refill your individual cartrige, as they do have to be filled a certain way.
GOOD LUCK

I used to refill my cartridges but no longer do. I found - cellphoneshop.net - I now pay between 1.65 and 3.90 and 6.90US for the various cartridges I use in my various printers. The product is very good..........never had a problem so far......and delivery has never taken more than seven days.
I've been very happy with the company and purchased many other items (not ink related) and found the quality as good or better than the products sold here and the cost most cases is less than 50 per cent off their retail prices here. For my Canon printer recently I paid 46.00US for three complete sets of cartridges and if I bought them at Staples locally I would have paid 47.00cdn plus tax for just one set. Literally a three for one deal.

It's true to a point.
There are (were) chip resetters available, but why would you bother refilling when you can buy new compable cartridges for under ten bucks each?

a computer chip in the cartridge counts the drops of ink.It cannot be refilled without resitting the chip.
