remanufactured ink cartridges. good idea? (sounds, Office, work, printer)

[citydweller]

So, both my ink cartridges are about empty and I was looking online when I came across remanufactured ink cartridges. The ones I looked at are about 1/3 of the price that I pay for new ones. Anyone try these? Have any suggestions?

I had good luck with remanufactured carttridges several several years ago but haven't used them as of late.

Can you specify which printer and where you're looking for remanufactured?

I suspect someone is going to suggest tp just get a laser printer, so be prepared to ignore them.

Hit and miss. The ones we have in the ancient HP inkjet at work are fine. The remanufactured Brother drum - not so much. One Epson was fine (for four cartridges) until a cheapie clogged the heads, and now that printer is worthless.

I got 2 at a Walgreens store - one worked for a short time and the other didn't work at all. (These were for a HP Officejet printer.)

I have current color laser printers. I've ordered remanufactured cartridges from Ebay w/o any issues. Their prices have been on average 50% off.

I've never had a good experience with remanufactured ink, be it inkjet or toner.

I tried remanu cartridges back when I was using my Kodak All-In-One, and had a miserable experience with them. But then again, the entire Kodak experience was pretty miserable, so take it with a grain of salt (I had 3 heads go bad on them)

Sounds like a mixed bag. Btw, I have a HP Photosmart, printer/fax/copier/scanner.

do you know what model you have? The HP Photosmart 02 (c62xx c82xx, c82xx) inks are pretty cheap on ebay.
