Have you tried refilling your own ink cartridge by a bottle of ink & a syringe?

For Epson you need a chip resetter like on here.

If you do not reset the chip it will not work. You buy the resetter once as it can reused. Check that your make of cartridge can be refilled first before you waste your money.

This is link to Epson models that can be refilled. Click on the numbers above to move to the next set of models if yours is not there to start with.

Click on yours and that should show you.

at circumstances refilled ink cartridges might paintings, yet quite often no longer. maximum printers won't comprehend refilled ink cartridges. as quickly as the ink is exhausted, the chip expires. Refilling them could be a costly gamble on your section.

i cannot do this with my epson printer (dx5000) as the chip in the cartridge still reads as empty and the printer wont carry on printing. apparently the chips can be re-set though.

I'm fairly sure that you can refill those but you will need a resetting tool for the printed circuit as it triggers when low and needs to be reset.

you could check this out at your local re-inking shop

BAD IDEA!!!!!!

You need to buy a new ink cartrdige!
