I ended up getting 2 high capacity blacks and one 3 color combo pack. With the diecount and free shipping it was $53 or so.
I wait until the letters come out too faint , then I replace. Don't go by the HP warning chip at all. Now I would take my chances that an old cartridge didn't work but for it to be totally made useless by a chip inside with a date , that would piss me off big time.
Anyway , I looked at the whole refil thing and the more I learned the more I decided against it. One place (a big name) would have only saved me $5 per color cartridge and maybe $3 for the black. For $18 total savings over maybe 8 to 12 months of supply , I don't want any trouble. Invariably the trouble would happen on April 15 or some other critical time I needed it to work.
i will have to start looking into the CIS printers though. Never heard of them before and it sounds like a good idea.
