Can you refill a deskjet printer cartridge with inkjet ink?

i'm tired of buying new ink cartridges for my hp photo printer. the only refill kits that i see are ones for inkjet printers. can i use this kit or is there a kit for deskjet printersCan you refill a deskjet printer cartridge with inkjet ink?
Ink cartridges are deliberately designed not to allow refilling. This is for good reason. In addition to the chip which knows that the cartridge was empty and wont work unless it is reprogrammed (and some do not allow resetting), an empty cartridge starts to develop ink clots because the residue was exposed to air. When you add new ink, those clots travel to the heads and block them. Refilling is a great way to kill your printer. Every day there are several messages here from people who found out the hard way. There are also messages from people who haven't learned yet and figured if it didnt happen yet, it won't. If you want to save money, buy brand new (not remanufactured) compatible cartridges.
