Product Description

PLEASE NOTE...ONLY EXTRACART is SELLING CALIDAD BRAND Refill Kits..New In Package..As Pictured. Other sellers are NOT Shipping the Product PICTURED.. They have made this cartridge one of the easiest I have ever seen to refill. All you do is remove the label on the top of the cartridge and there they are..the holes to refill your cartridge. PLEASE NOTE.. do not remove the label before buying one of our Calidad Refill Kits. This will allow air to enter the cartridge and will dry out the ink sponge. You will have great results with these refill kits if you follow these 3 simple rules: 1. Take your time. Don't get in a big hurry. 2. Don't overfill your cartridge. These kits are designed to make you slowly refill the cartridge. 3. Take the cartridge straight out of the printer and refill it at that time. The cartridge will dry out quickly if left out of the printer. If the cartridge dries out you will not be able to refill it successfully. The refill kit is designed to work with the Canon CL-211, CL-211XL, CL-31, CL-38, CL-41, CL-51, CL-511, CL-513, CL-811, CL-811XL and CL-831 Inkjet Cartridges. These cartridges work in these printer models: Canon PIXMA MP140, MP145, MP150, MP160, MP170, MP180, MP190, MP198, MP210, MP220, MP240, MP245, MP250, MP258, MP260, MP268, MP270, MP280, MP328, MP450, MP460, MP470, MP480, MP486, MP490, MP495, MP496, iP1200, iP1300, iP1600, iP1700, iP1800, iP1880, iP1900, iP1980, iP2200, iP2500, iP2600, iP2700, iP6210D, iP6220D, iP6310D, MX300, MX310, MX318, MX320, MX330, MX340 and MX350.

I just purchased this ink refill kit as well as the black kit (921-bk) to refill my canon mp-160 printer cartridges. This is my first time refilling cartridges and I have to say that it was an excellent experience. Total time to fill both cartridges was about 15 minutes, 10 of which was getting set up at the table and making sure I didn't make a mess.

My first thoughts were that the instructions were in ENGLISH and not translated poorly from another language. They were clear, concise, and accurate so there was no mistaking what you were supposed to do.

Second, the ink comes with nice syringe type applicators with rubber caps so you can safely store the unused ink.

Lastly, I have a few suggestions that make life a little easier. The directions tell you to remove the label from the top of the cartridge. The sticker is difficult to get peeled up and ends up coming off as little pieces. To avoid this, get a razor blade, sharp knife or something similar and CAREFULLY slide it under the edge of the label. You will be able to easily peel the label up and get a good hold on it to pull it off in one peice.

Also, don't use the included drill bit unless you absolutely have to. There is the risk that you can get plastic particles into the cartridge and cause problems. Granted I do not know how much of an issue this is but i would rather be on the safe side. Use a paper clip, awl, or small screw driver heated over a flame to melt the hole larger. Doing this causes the plastic to get pushed up so you will need to trim this off using a rasor blade so the hole is flush again.

After filling, I printed a picture to test the ink and it came out beautifully. I cannot see the difference between this and the orignial cartridge. The price Can't be beat either. I got two of each of the color and black refill kits and it only cost me $30 shipped to my door in 3 days.

I would highly recommend this product!!!!

This is the second time I have ordered these refills from this seller and I am satisfied for the most part. The packaging is great and it arrives always on time or before the scheduel due date. The only Major complaint I have is if you order two refills at the same time like I did, One (1) Black Ink and One (1) Color Ink, I'm charged a seperated shipping on each of the item (thats two (2) shipping charges in total, even if it's shipped in one box, and the shipping charges are so much more money then the item itself, I think that's unfair. The shipping charges for these ink refills are very expensive and I really don't see why the seller charges TWO shipping charges, I feel he should charge one shipping fee when they are being mailed in one box, I will be surfing the internet for another company to order from next time.

Although this was slightly messier than the single black ink refill, I hardly made a mess at all. Works perfectly, lets me reuse my cartridges, and so much cheaper than buying whole new cartridges. Two complete refills per package. So worth it...I will definitely be buying again!
