Printer cartridges/ink

[ex 2 Base]

We have a HP desk jet printer 1510 which we think uses a lot of ink. We have bought XL cartridges thinking they would last longer, not a lot of difference. I have bought a refill kit and have filled the cartridges my self ,following instruction on youtube, all to no avail. I'm told HP cartridges have a built in electronics which deactivate the print system. Has any one knowledge or comments on how to get round the system. Ted

When I was looking into refill kits for our laser printer a while back I found a lot of suppliers who could also sell the replacement chip, which basically tells the printer that you've fitted a new cartridge which is genuine, usually with instructions for fitting.

In the event, I happened to find replacement cartridges at comparable prices for both the mono* and the colour printers so didn't need to go down the refill/rechip route.

I suggest that you have a session with Google (other search engines are available) for refill kits and look carefully at the websites of several of the vendors. From my memory of doing this I found a few who gave very detailed descriptions of their products with clear instruction about how to proceed.

* The rebuilt cartridge I got for the Brother HL-2270DW printer was actually cheaper than the cheapest refill + chip kit I could find!
