Is it worth it to try and refill Canon ink cartridges?

Asked by kevbo (7775 points) | asked August 15th, 2008 | 2 responses | “Great Question” (0 points) | Flag as…

I have an MP830 that uses the 5 ink setup—black (text), black (graphic), cyan, magenta, yellow. A five pack (one of each) is $60 at Costco. I’ve never refilled ink cartridges before, although I’ve heard it can be messy. Also the newer Canon cartridges have some kind of chip or sensor on them, which may or may not prevent a refill from working. I don’t know. Any suggestions?

I think it’s worth it, and I do it often. It’s not that hard to refill the ink and it’s much cheaper over time.

Peggylou does it all the time. I always get super messy. I go on amazon (through a link on fluther, of course) and buy cheap generics.
