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 ink-jet replacement print cartridges for which they apply. We have
standard and water-resistant jet inks available. Please inquire at time of order if
water-resistant ink is suitable for your replacement print 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 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 ink-jet replacement print cartridge from the printer.
2. Load dispenser with jet ink.
3. Insert dispenser into appropriate filling hole and release the ink.
Replacement print 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 ink-jet replacement print cartridges are refillable without modifications. Some require minor
modifications. When so, our inkjet refill kits contain the tools and
instructions necessary to modify the replacement print cartridges as needed.

Notes
Recharging an ink-jet replacement print cartridge is very
easy. The crucial ingredient, of course, is the jet ink which must have some
specific chemical characteristics. Our inks are individually designed to
be chemical and physical matches to the original inks in your replacement print 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 inks comply with or
exceed the original manufacturer's specifications.
Apart from the quality of the ink, the
life of an ink-jet cartridge depends on how cleanly the printing element is
maintained. Best results are obtained by recharging an ink-jet cartridge
before it becomes completely dry. A completely dried ink-jet replacement print cartridge may
accumulate particles near the printing element micro channels and recovery (typically
by soaking) requires a measure of patience.
How many times can an ink-jet 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 recharging process and success of our
Refill Kits. Our replacement print cartridges have been very well-used by the time they
are ready for replacement. Some of our consumers have mentioned that they
restored the same ink-jet replacement print cartridge as many as 25 times. The variation
depends on the way the ink-jet replacement print cartridge is handled and your printer usage.
Can I damage the printing element if I renew the replacement print cartridge?
For many printers, the replacement print cartridge contains
the printing element. ink-jet replacement 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 printing element surface from abrasive handling and contact with
fingers, storing the replacement print 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 replacement print cartridges
disposable after one use? Why don't they provide restored cartridges?
Very few manufacturers provide inks for their own
replacement print cartridges, although this would be extremely beneficial to consumers and the
environment. Even if they provide ink for recharging, it is very
expensive when available.
Considering the borderline exorbitance of ink-jet replacement print cartridge costs, one can see
why manufacturers would want to do everything possible to keep consumers chained
to the idea of buying new genuine OEM replacement print cartridges every time the ink level analysis
dictates.
Why are manufacturer's inks so
expensive (if available at all)? Are their inks different from yours?
No. Our inks comply with or exceed the
manufacturer's specifications.
