Re: Price of cartridges - was 750 cleaning cycles

["Murray & Irina Zaharia" <zaharia@direct.ca>]

I have been refilling my HP 970 with bulk ink from MIS (color and Black) for
months now. The ink I use is for the HP 870, but at MIS they swear it is
EXACTLY the same ink. They said that they ran all the tests on the ink and
there as absolutely no difference between the ink for the 970 and the 870.
(This includes the color ink)  My personal experience bears this out. I have
refilled my color and black cartridge at least 6 times each with no
noticable difference and no problems.

Regards,
Murray Zaharia
