Yianni, I started my toner am inkjet business in 1991 and keep growing every
year. I network with five other businesses that refill cartridges and we
share what suppliers have the best ink for the each type of cartridge.
Unfortunately none of us can find a ink supplier that has quality ink that
will work with all cartridges. I use three different vendors to refill HP
cartridges. For example the vendor we use for HP 23 & HP 78 is not the same
vendor we use for HP 28 & 57. Our yield on our 23 & 78 is 99.9% and the 28 &
57 a little lower. The ink for the 27 & 56 come from another vendor. In all
cases we refill all our cartridges under vacuum system from SpeedBrite. I
retired in 1991 but got bored and started up this business. Its very
challenging and rewarding. Bottom line my belief is you get the best bang
for your buck from HP inkjet & laser printers. If you own a Lexmark printer,
good luck. Pete
