Printers with refillable ink cartridges?

I have been looking all over online, but all I can find are printers from several years ago that aren't on the market anymore. I was really hoping to find a list of printers somewhere but that just doesn't seem to be happening.

These are for the family business which goes through several printers and a LOT of ink. The recession has made it much more sensible to refill our own printers and keep cheap, but reliable printers.

If anyone has a list of printers they know to have refillable ink cartridges or even if you just know one or two that are still available in stores, I truly appreciate your input.

Thank you!

    You can also get a chip re-setter for the cartridges so you get full ink level readings.

    When you buy ink buy the bulk sort and get it so that it is for the model printer as the colour match will be better.

    When I get a new printer I get a piece of paper towel and bad each of the colours on it and write OEM on it. Keep that sheet as your colour swatch for when you buy new bulk ink.

    When you get the bulk ink dab a small amount on another sheet and write which one it is. Let it dry then compare with the original. It might take a while to get the right ink but once you do it will give so much better results.

    Don't buy photo colours as these are lighter and if your printer does not take a photo color it will be a terrible result.

    Chip re-setter. Its the one for the CLI-520/PGI-521 (also called CLI-220/PGI-221 depending where youy life) The other one is for

    different cartridges.

    This is how to refill them.

    Edit

    The above printers will also work with compatibles. These are an example. I have never used these ones as I'm from UK!

    What you need is Photobrite Inkjet Refill System. According to the manual it is compatible with Dell, Hewlett Packard (HP), Lexmark all other cartridge. The instructions can be found at the link down below. I've been using this system for about 3 years now with my HP Deskjet Printers and the replacements from my personal experience do not horibbly distort your printed text when wet.

    Hope this helps. There's an expiry on every ink jet. once it does not expire you can continue to fill it.

    PS On The website after you choose which language you want (I think it's english or spanish), you'll be transported to a list of printers and by extension print cartridges that the system can be used with and there are A LOT.

    Warning: Refilling your print cartridge will void your warranty

    refillable cartridges do not work as the print head needs to be reset which is a job for an expert

    most printer mfgrs will void your warranty if you refill your own cartridges. it's usually ok to do after you are out of warranty
