Description
JetMaster®
describes a family of inkjet cartridge refill kits. The system is similar for
each inkjet refill kit. What varies is the color of the printer ink, the number
of ink bottles per kit (five, for example, in some color kits), and the type of
ink. All inkjet refill kits include as many printer inks and dispensers as
present in the original inkjet print cartridges for which they apply. We have
standard and pigment-based (waterproof) jet inks available. Please inquire at time of order if
pigment-based (waterproof) inkjet ink is suitable for your printing cartridge.
As more printers come onto the market, our listing of JetMaster®
kits grows. If you do not find your printer in the current price list, please
phone us 1-888-741-3119 . Inkjet refill kits include ink for an
average of 6 to 10 refills. After the
initial inkjet refill kit, you just buy inkjet ink in the quantities and
colors needed. This makes the cost per recharge very low. And.... since you do
not discard the cartridge nor the dispenser(s), you are friendly to the
environment.
Operation
In general, the operation involves three steps:
1. Remove inkjet print cartridge from the printer.
2. Load dispenser with jet ink.
3. Insert dispenser into appropriate filling hole and release the ink.
Printing cartridge can be refilled by laying it on a flat surface or by holding it in
one hand.
The operation is really simple, but we provide clear
instruction booklets with each JetMaster®
kit to satisfy the desires of the most curious or cautious. Some inkjet print cartridges are refillable without modifications. Some require minor
modifications. When so, our inkjet refill kits contain the supplies and
instructions necessary to modify the printing cartridges as needed.

Notes
Re-inking an inkjet print cartridge is very
easy. The crucial ingredient, of course, is the jet ink which must have some
specific chemical characteristics. Our inks are specifically designed to
be chemical and physical matches to the original inks in your printing cartridges.
And, very importantly, they are filtered so as to contain no particulates (the
tolerance is even tighter than with dot matrix ink). Ink must contain no
contaminants or chemicals that may react with the printhead element and must
have anti-coagulant characteristics. All our inkjet inks comply with or
exceed the original manufacturer's specifications.
Apart from the quality of the inkjet ink, the
life of an ink cartridge depends on how cleanly the printer head is
maintained. Best results are obtained by re-inking an ink cartridge
before it becomes completely dry. A completely dried inkjet print cartridge may
accumulate particles near the printer head micro channels and recovery (typically
by soaking) requires a measure of patience.
How many times can an ink cartridge be
restored?
In general, between 10 and 18 times. The more you
print, the more you save. Since we do all of our own printing
in-house, we are very familiar with the re-inking process and success of our
Refill Kits. Our printing cartridges have been very well-used by the time they
are ready for replacement. Some of our buyers have mentioned that they
restored the same inkjet print cartridge as many as 25 times. The variation
depends on the way the inkjet print cartridge is handled and your printer usage.
Can I damage the printer head if I recharge the printing cartridge?
For many printers, the printing cartridge contains
the printer head. inkjet print cartridges are more affected by the care taken in
handling them than the specific ink used. Care includes, for example, protecting
the gold laminated printer head surface from abrasive handling and contact with
fingers, storing the printing cartridge in a sealed environment when not in use, etc.
It is, however, still foundational to use cartridge-matched inks for
proper print quality (hue, tone, clarity, etc.).
Do manufacturers consider the printing cartridges
disposable after one use? Why don't they provide restored cartridges?
Very few manufacturers provide inks for their own
printing cartridges, although this would be extremely beneficial to buyers and the
environment. Even if they provide inkjet ink for re-inking, it is very
expensive when available.
Considering the borderline exorbitance of inkjet print cartridge costs, one can see
why manufacturers would want to do everything possible to keep buyers chained
to the idea of buying new OEM brand printing cartridges every time the ink monitor
dictates.
Why are manufacturer's inkjet inks so
expensive (if available at all)? Are their inks different from yours?
No. Our inkjet inks comply with or exceed the
manufacturer's specifications.
