Hi Bill, Yes I think thats true of the earlier HP carts but I'm lead to believe that the new HP9x carts have more serious protection. I haven't tried rotating them yet though. Colin |

I'm not sure of the exact number, but if you have 3 or 4 cartridges, you can rotate them through the printer. The printer reads the serial number on the cartridge, but it only stores 3 or 4 of them at a time. When you get back to the first one, the printer thinks it's a new cartridge again. This is not true for the 96/97 cartridges. There is nothing to prevent refilling, but there is not way to reset the ink level to full. Once the cartridge is depleted the ink level will show as empty in the original printer or "not available" if put in another printer. Regards, Bob Headrick, not speaking for my employer HP |
