You're right on the money about avoiding HP refillable cartridges.

HP had 2 eminently refillable ones the 51608A and 33A. They went to great trouble
and expense to render the 51626A VERY hard to refill. Bladders, mazes and 2 air
intakes replaced a simple sponge. DEC and Olivetti derivatives of the 51608A are
still sold and refill well. We sell 51626A refill kits with only the understanding
that a high failure rate exists due to above changes.

ICMI Nukote obtained a court order that they desist from selling the 51626A's with
packaging showing the fill hole and bead at top corner, when some products didn't
have them any more.

Their next one - the 2000 will have a chip in the reservoir cartridge which logs
many things, including how many times it's been removed.

Stick with Canon, Epson & Lexmark for refilling economies. More details, tips and
