Hi,
Has anyone tried refilling the HP 940 cartridges for the Officejet Pro 8500? Specifically:
1) Are these refillable? Can the original low-capacity carts that come with the printer be refilled, or can you only refill the XL versions? (like the 564 vs 564XL)
2) And if the low-capacity carts...
Hi Pharmacist,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you explain why only the Epson ones get good results from CISS please?
And which Epson printer is similar to the MX860 / Photosmart 309a that you'd recommend to use with CISS? The key features for me are:

Great, thanks for the info pharmacist, much appreciated!
Would you also have comments on the 'refill friendly' 564 cartridges? They're transparent so ink levels are clearly visible, and apparently larger:

Hi,
Does anyone know how large the HP 564 normal and xl cartridges (both pigmented black & photo black + colour) are compared to the Canon PGI 520 & CLI 521 cartridges? Specific volume in ml?
I'm interested in buying either the Canon MX860 or the HP Photosmart Premium C309a and am just...
