Proper ink for the HP 96 cartridge
Because of my high daily printing load, I have been refilling my
inkjet cartridges for years to keep costs down. I require only black and white printing. Recently I switched over from Canon Pixma to an HP printer using the HP 96 black cartridge. At the time, I had a quart of pigmented black ink in stock for the Canon and contacted my supplier to see if that ink was compatible with the HP printer and 96 cartridge. I was told that the Canon ink was a "thicker" formulation than that used in the HP 86. However, my supplier suggested that I might go ahead and try refilling the HP with the Canon ink since the worst thing that could happen would be a clogged printhead requiring a new cartridge. Since that time, I have refilled the original HP cartridge at least 50 times using the Canon pigmented ink with no problems whatsoever and no deterioration in print quality. Having done some subsequent research on the internet, I have learned that the HP 96 cartridge, as well as some of the other newer cartridges in that series, is designed for the new HP Vivera non-pigmented inks and that Hewlette Packard predicts dire consequences if one attempts to use pigmented ink in these cartridges. I'm ready to re-order ink from my supplier and am a bit confused as to what to order. The Vivera inks are proprietary to Hewlette Packard and are obviously not available through third parties. I've had excellent results with pigmented ink against the strong advice of Hewlette Packard, However, am I flirting with danger? Should I re-order regular non-pigmented black ink from now on? Has anyone out there had any experience with this ... any thoughts or ideas? Thanx. |

I find HP carts wear out or expire after around 10-15 refills no mater what ink I use. If you can get 50 refills and the print quality is ok then stick with it. |

This was my first visit to this newsgroup. It's reassuring to know
that this group is no different from all the other usenet groups. They all have just a few lurkers who are there to learn and offer help. The majority of the responders get their jollies out of flaming and sarcastic remarks. To date, out of five responses, only one was an attempt to give constructive advice. It's amazing how otherwise civilized people turn ugly when they have the advantage of hiding their identities in cyberspace. And, by the way, flamers, save your venom ... I'm off on the never-ending search for a civil newsgroup. CWatters, thanks for the response. You are the only one who gave any constructive advice. |

By "wear out or expire" after 10-15 refills, I assume that you mean that the print heads begin to clog and the print quality deteriorates. It's been my experience that the number of successful refills are directly proportional to the quality of the ink you purchase, This is particularly the case with pigmented black ink. These days, it seems like every dork that has an extra bay in his garage is trying to get into the inkjet ink business. Most don't have a clue and couldn't care less. Very few filter their inks properly. Improper filtration of pigmented ink is, in my opinion, the primary cause of printhead clogging. I would suggest finding another ink vendor. You should be getting better longevity out of the HP cartridges. |

Oh...you must have run into our main troll moron who goes by the name measher****head. Granted...every ng has it problems with assholes. But, I guarantee you'll not find a bigger asshole in any ng than our measher****head. Dumb, stupid, ignorant, old, fat, bald and probably drunk most of the time.
