Yes they can.

Try http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/index.php and if you can't find an
appropriate thread then ask the question on the forum.

For what it's worth, these cartridges can usually only be refilled successfully
a small number of times

I have put ink in a 57 over 15 times. Admittedly I don't try too hard
to completely refill it each time. I find it easier to put ink in each
time it goes thru 1/3 of the ink on the level indicator. I then have
to cycle 2 other cartridges thru the printer to reset the ink
indicator, when the level is showing empty.

Part filling is probably one of the reasons you have been able to fill it so
many times. Overfilling is definitely a cause of issues.
However there is a degree of luck involved as well, the printhead is designed
for a finite number of *shots* of ink and at some stage it will fail, I doubt
if the design criteria is for 15 times the normal usage....but if it works,
then great.

But partial filling 15 times could be about the same as full filling
about 8 times in term of total ink by volume.

So partial filling may seems to last longer when in fact it's just a
mattrer of when the head burns out.

This is true. I have had cartridges fail after 1 refill, but I take
care to not let the cartridge run out and not try to put the last ml
of ink in.
