Inkjet Refill Kit Pro — Does DIY Ink Actually Work?

Refilling your own cartridges with the Inkjet Refill Kit Pro costs roughly $0.004/page vs. $0.10–$0.15 for OEM cartridges — a 25–37× savings.

What’s in the kit

• 4 × 30ml ink bottles (black, cyan, magenta, yellow)
• Refill needles and plugs
• Instructions for HP, Canon, Epson, Lexmark formats

Real-world test results

Over 500 test pages across HP DeskJet and Canon PIXMA cartridges:

• Text documents: Output quality matched OEM on all tests
• Photos: Slight magenta shift on Canon; acceptable on HP
• Clogging: 2 out of 8 refilled cartridges clogged after 2nd refill

Who should use it

Best for text-heavy printing households. If you print photos regularly, stick to OEM or compatible cartridges — the color fidelity difference is visible.

Clogging prevention tip

Run a print-head cleaning cycle immediately after refilling and again after 48 hours of non-use.
