Do Refill machines are able to refill every sponge cartrdiges?

[Blacki]

I have been looking at Refill machines from different providers and it is not clear whether the machines are able to refill any type of sponge cartridges? i.e: Epson T0711. T0715....

Can we assume that the refill machines are able to do so for every cartridges of any brand?

Thank you for your help.

If you are talking about refilling machines made in China my suggestion is to forget about them. They only work for very few ink cartridges, very old cartridges by the way. Newer cartridges released by printer manufacturers are almost impossible to be refilled by those machines. I can be wrong of course. But last time a few machines I saw in trade shows were pretty useless.

Those automatic machines are pretty much relegated to black ink only if they fill from the printhead side. Way too many variables and the possibility of cross contamination when doing color. So you're really limited. Possibly the best universal machine to get would be one that could clean and purge and dry a majority of cartridges to get it ready for refill then manually refill the carts. That's gonna be your best bang for the buck if you're starting small. The print cartridge refill business is a cutthroat business made tougher by the generic cartridge guys and printer oems constantly changing cartridge designs to foil refillers. My suggestion would be to avoid getting yourself stuck with a refiller that fills obselete carts, especially when carts that old will have a ton of generic carts available for cheap.
