    How NOT to fail with the German Refilling method

    I noticed in some recent postings people stating problems with the German method. Since I am using this method for the last 3 years on the same set of 2x5 cartridges with 0 problems and 0 purges and a lot of printing, I've decided to offer a few points about what NOT to do. 1. Don't seal the...

    Forum Organization Ideas & Feedback Needed

    The purple color of some usernames (moderators?) is difficult to see with the dark colored theme I am using. I am not sure if my partial color blindness is to blame, but the usernames are almost part of the background.
