I had looked into refilling my own cartridges when I found a company that is more than reasonable on the web. A couple days by snail mail, 20 month shelf life, and they are identical to what I paid up to 3 and 4 times what I did with this company. I have no interest in it but check out www.mrinkman.com ALSO on the news last night I heard where someone on the yahoo site bad talked a form of manmade jewels, and the company is going to sue them, and make yahoo turn over their names, addy's etc. Come on, what happened to freedom of speech?
