There are both pros and cons to using refilled cartridges in your inkjet printer, no matter what brand you own. If you listen to the manufacturers, refilled cartridges can damage your printer and void your warranty.

Pros
The biggest advantage of refill ink is the lower cost. They cost less than half the price of a new cartridge, and this can really add up over the life of a printer.
And no only do you save money, but you’re also recycling the ink cartridge, which is better for the environment.
Another advantage of refill ink is the availability. If you keep a refill kit on hand, it won’t matter when your cartridge runs out – you can just refill it.
