Will refilling work if the cartridge has been empty (dry) for a while?

Yes! I had some cartridges sitting around awhile and used the ink refill, it worked great. Just be careful not to scrape the bottom of your spare cartridges while sitting around or they're doomed. :(

Yes but the quality of the picture is not as good. Also I find I need to replace the cartidges after the 4th refil, the prints are not as good as they could be after that. I do print a lot of photographs.

No it won't, when it says the ink cartridge is low is the best time to refill and when refill it best it set over night. Sometimes it's not needed.

I believe you either need to buy a new cartridge or use the needle method to refill the cartridge as well.

No, you reuse the plastic cap that you remove to empty and then refill the cartridge. I've never found this to be a problem as long as you don't destroy the cap as you remove it.

In all honesty I can't say whether it would work for your cartridge as the cartridge in question is not on the list of cartridges that can be refilled with this product. I would contact the company and ask them. Sorry I couldn't answer that.

Mine is 2 years old and I have filled the toner cartridges several times....I use a local company who specializesin refilling toner cartridges...they find away to refill anything !!!! It might be that the original starter cartridge which lasts a very short time is sealed

No it won't. I disagree with the previous two answers. It automatically stops when the ink runs out on any cartridge. Your computer screen warns you first and then when the printer stops your screen shows which cartridge has run out of ink. I keep two sets of refillable cartridges so I have no down time when the ink runs out. I just replace the dry one and refill it while the printer continues doing its job.

I never looked inside the cartridge. They were not obviously wet to me. They do have to be soaked on a bowl of water for like 24 hours before you use the machine first time for that cartridge. When you don't use it for a week or so, they will also need to be rehydrated, or the machine doesn't work. Beyond that, maybe call the manufacturer?

They have new and used cartridges. I bought the new ones and it shows that it's full, but I haven't used one to the empty level yet They work just like the one I had before. I'm very satisfied with them. It does say not to refill them because once their empty the mechanism it it won't work to show the ink level.

It is dry, but you have to be careful cause it gets everywhere. Suggest filling cartridge outside and wearing a good pair of gloves that can be washed off or laundried

Let the cartridge sit for about 12 hours before printing if it was completely empty! :) I didn't know this either but it helped greatly!

By the way, check the YouTube videos on how to wind back the cartridge counters to get an extra life out of your existing cartridges. Don't replace the old ones before they are empty.

No that is not true. I change only the cartridge that is empty and it works fine

Yes, the cartridge is refillable. You need to drill a hole on the cartridge follow the instructions in the pack. It is a little difficult to do that. And I recommend that you to drill the hole a little larger so that it would be easier for you to inject ink into the cartridge without overflowing.

Yes, you can refill the cartridges. However, one VERY important caution: the powder is very fine and under no circumstances should you allow the "powder dust" to be breathed in. do mine outside and stand side wind.

I called the seller and the answer that they gave me was to just wait until the printer says the cartridge is empty then remove it and replace it. You have to physically check the cartridges to see if there is enough ink.

No idea but the if the cartridge has a chip, and you cannot reset it, then it's not going to work. My case is even with the refillable Lexmark cartridges, it still refused to work after the refill. Nothing wrong just the printer detected the refill and 'refused' to use it.

All refilled cartridges don't register because it's refilled. I remove mine, give it a shake and put it back in. It still says it's empty, but it's printing!
