Question: Is it really cost effective for me to refill my cartridges?

Answer: If you print rather often and go through at least 3-4 cartridges a year, then refilling can be very cost effective for you.  (Not to mention helping the environment.) How much money you will save completely depends on how much you spend on your cartridges.  For example, say you spend roughly $35.00 on a brand new Lexmark color cartridge.  Multiply that $35.00 by 15 (the number of refills given in a Mr. Ink Jet, Inc.® kit:  $35 x 15 =  $525.00  It would cost you $525.00 to purchase fifteen Lexmark color cartridges at $35.00 each.  Now, for about $40.00 you can purchase a Mr. Ink Jet® refill kit and refill your cartridge approximately 15 times.  If your cartridge doesn't last for fifteen refills (the print head wears out, sponges dry up, etc.) then you would have to buy another cartridge and refill that one when it got low - still an overall savings of $490.00.

   So, if you or your kids prefer to print in color or you haven't let yourself print everything you would like to because the cartridges are so ridiculously expensive, then refilling is definitely something you should think seriously about doing!
