This review is from: Inkjet Ink Refill Kit Premium BLACK and Color 21oz(595ml) - Univeral ink compatibility (Office Product)

I ordered the Stratitec ink refill kit.
I also ordered the 6 extra large bottles of black.
The kit works great.
Black ink works great. I save $15 every time I refill and have refilled 15-30 times so far (stopped counting) and still have 3 bottles left.

The color ink is not as bright as the original Canon photo ink (used in a Canon Pixma MP500 printer). So I mainly refill the black ink with the Stratitec and buy new Canon color.

You'll need to drill a hole in the top of the ink cartridge and then plug it with a little rubber stopper that is included. (drill bit also included).

The Canon printer somehow knows when you refilled (instead of buying new ink from Canon) and their printer no longer tells you when the cartridge is empty. (this feature shuts off) So that's a disadvantage. But I save $15 each refill so it's worth it. (and I save the trip to the store).

The ink refill process can be messy. I use rubber gloves. Not a problem.

The kit is impressive.

It should be noted that the kit "might" not work with aged cartridges. That is, cartridges that have been empty for a while or haven't been used in a while.
I have the kit, but I still have to buy new cartridges before the refill will work. I tried the old cartridge and it failed. I cleaned it and now it leaks horribly, even with a very small amount of ink. I followed the instructions. In the end I had to discard the cartridge.

The instructions for the refill are online and are very detailed.

The kit seems great. Good contents. Seems like good bang for the buck. I look forward to trying it in a newly empty cartridge.

This package provides a large quantity of ink at a very reasonable price. Refilling your own cartridges is easy and much much less expensive than buying new ones, and the quality is good (it's a little bit more complicated if you have cartridges with an electronic ink droplet counter, but since the counters can be reset this is not a major hurdle).
