People have expressed a legitimate concern as to whether the use of compatible cartridges in their printer will void their printer's warranty. The answer is NO! What follows is a partial quote from the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act, which protects your rights and your warranty. MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY IMPROVEMENT ACT United States Code Annotated Title 15 Commerce and Trade Chapter 50 Consumer Product Warranties 15 Section 2032 ... (c) No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this subsection be waived by the commission if: 1) The warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and 2) the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest. More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

Refilling will plug up your printer's internal printhead. It depends on the inks used. If you have an internal printhead, it's a chance you take, and if you have cartridges with the heads on them like HP products. You will only plug up the cartridges. You can refill these all you want, you will just throw it out anyway if it plugs up. After market inks cost less for a reason, they don't have the quality, accuracy of color, or additives that keeps your printheads from plugging up. That's why they even suggest using their paper and ink catridges to get quality pictures and prints. That is if you want quality picutes and keep your printhead clean. This could get costly. If you have an internal printhead like a Canon. You can still mix it up to save money, I use refills for regular text and docutments, then I use the manufacture's to print photos and if there's any build up on the print head it will keep it clean.

Bah! The printer manufacturers would like you to believe just that! That is how they make their big $... I have always bought refills for mine (for more than 4 years) and they work great...and save me about 30 to 35 dollars a cartridge! Check this place out!

Most of the time the worst thing that will happen when you refill a cartridge is the quality will suck, or at the very worst it will ruin the cartridge (not the printer) Relax and use you printer. If you don't the cartridge is going to dry up. If you are getting refills, make sure they are from a reputable place and they provide you with instructions on how to clean your printer, as well as how to install and reset ink levels if necessary. Just relax, it is okay. Many people use refill, there are businesses based upon refilling. If they ruined printers, they would no longer exist.

no it wont damage ur printer but ur cartridge only.. enjoy ur refill

No. Refills work just fine. A little messy every now and then, but other then that all works well.

Haha that's so silly, why would it damage your printer?
