Refillable Ink.

Hi is there anybody that sells refillable ink in the UK as i live in Greece and it would be cheaper to send here thanks

Consider InkTec bulk inks, such as found at this German website - http://www.tintenalarm.de/nachfuelltinte-c-21_22_464_2705_2707.html.

Anyone of the following will give good results, but I don't know about a nearby sellor for you:

http://www.inksupply.com/ selling MIS inks(reported to be Ink Specialty inks)

http://www.precisioncolors.com selling Ink Specialty inks

http://hobbicolors.com/ selling Hobbicolors inks

http://www.inktec.com/english/main.asp for InkTec inks (Google "Inktec" for retailors)

Also look on eBay for potential listings, such as this eBay Italy listing - http://shop.ebay.it/items/inktec_W0QQ_fromZR40.

Lastly, please have some grilled fresh octopus and tomato, onion and feta salad with crusty bread for me. That's some good eating on a warm evening by the sea!

I also found this on ebay you think he's legit as far as getting good ink? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Refillable-in...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 Also when i refill my OEM cartridges on my iP4500 do i need a chip re setter?

Only if you want to maintain the ink monitoring function of the printer. If you don't reset the chip, then you must regularly visually monitor the amount of ink in the cartridges so that they don't run dry and burn out the printhead. There are several sources for the resetter in Europe - hopefully they will send it to Greece. The resetter is a fairly inexpensive device that will give you peace of mind when printing.

That's the way I remember the octopus on Calymnos. Thanks for the pictures!

I recommend only CLI-8 and PGI-5 Canon OEM cartridges for refilling. While aftermarket cartridges may work perfectly, there are so many anecdotal reports of poor functioning that the cost savings may not be worthwhile. Maybe some forum members can suggest good aftermarket cartridges.

The eBay link you posted is for an unknown brand of ink. Saving a few drachma on ink may not result in happy printing results. I would recommend staying with one of the inks previously posted because they have withstood the test of many people and found to produce good results. Of course, if you are already familiar with another brand and its results, then go for it.

The use of a chip resetter is not necessary and is a personal choice. I'd like one but don't care to pay the current price.

For a more complete answer to your question on chip resetters, and other possible questions, see my post at http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=22670#p22670 (post #8).

Yes thank you, i love octopus as well anyway i will order from Hobbicolors today and i found a chip re setter in Germany for 19 euro i just don't want to lose the ink monitor level,, anyway i think it will be hard to refill my OEM cartridges hope i don't break anything

It is VERY easy to refill Canon OEM catridges!

I use the Durchstich/German method for refilling. Easy, fast and clean. Read more in the link I posted above.

Let us know how things work out.
