The answer is don't. Don't bother risking permanently damaging the internal permanent print head. You are likely to experience poor print quality due to the fact that you are using non Epson ink.
The T0712 ink cartridges contain Epson DURABrite Ultra ink. This is pigment-based ink. The ink in those refill kits or from a refill outlet is NOT Epson ink and it is not pigment-based. The mix of different ink in the ink feed system and print head is likely to cause blockages which might not shift, or at least will mean you will have to use ink in using the Head Clean procedure. It's a false economy.
You can get Epson ink carts for 拢6.99 each or a value multi pack - available from www.buyepson.co.uk or possibly cheaper elsewhere, like Amazon.co.uk.Does any body know how to refill epson ink cartridge t0712?
take it to Walgreen's, they are advertising that they will refill you ink cartridges for $15 and guaranty them

How can I refill my printer cartridge HP c4180?
For a HP Printer, you will need to use ';Pigmented'; Black - I do not know what cartridges the c4180 uses, but it is likely the black cartridge will need to be drilled to insert ink.
It is probable the tri-color will already have the holes drilled; in both cases, remove the HP sticker that shows cartridge #.
Be sure not to overfill - especially the tri-color; overfilling results in cross-contamination; colors will not print correctly.
Fill to ~ 80% of capacity.
The websites listed below have all information, refill kits, ect.
Good Luck,

I have a Brother 54-60 All in one and want to refill my ink rather than buy new ones........Any suggestions?Can I refill my toner cartridge? How?

Where can I have my printer's ink cartridge refilled?
I tried to take it to Walgreens, but they don't do Canon printers.Where can I have my printer's ink cartridge refilled?
Unless it's an older model Canon printer, you can't find it anywhere-
Canon printers are specifically designed to prevent you from finding/getting refilled ink.
If you're looking for the BCI- cartridges, you can find them in some stores... but it's rare.
Let me stress the importance of NOT buying refill ink.
1) It's the lowest quality ink you can find. Canon's ink is actually the HIGHEST quality ink available.
2) Canon ink in stores, is relatively cheap for what you're getting.
3) The cartridges like CLI-8 are 13 mL in size, compared to HP, or other brands, you're getting well over 2.5-4 times the ink provided by other brands for about $1-2 more...
4) Refill ink WILL in fact damage the printer's heads.
Let me know if you have any other questions.Where can I have my printer's ink cartridge refilled?
I don't know what you have locally available to you, but there is a fairly large chain called Island InkJet and they can refill almost any kind of cartridge. I would take it there to see if they can refill that for you. They usually have kiosks in Malls and can also be found in the Yellow Pages if they are local to you.
sometimes you can buy the ink and refill it yourself very cheap but a warning! alot of new company's are goign to a chip that installs in your ink cartage and when ink is inserted and refilled when you take it back and try to get it to print it will not. places it might work most office supply stores
I think it's better to buy the ink and do it yourself - you need to learn a little about getting the heads nice and wet and clean and ready to print again, someitmes it's not quite so easy - but it's worth a try before you spend money.
I use some toilet tissue soaked with hot water - take the heads out and put them on there when I refill, then they tend not to dry/clog up, and just need a wipe and two or three test pages to clear them out. Good as new at about 4% of the cost!
You can go to a chain like InkStop or InkDepot. I rather buy a new cartridge myself. OfficeDepot gives you a credit if you bring in your old cartridge.
Cvs, Office Depot, Staples, anywhere that has ink and camera supplies.
Staples or Office Max
trust me u r better off just buying a new oneinterest rate

Is the quality of a refilled ink cartridge comparable to a new one?
Ink cartridges for inkjet printers can cost around 65 dollars while refillable services can cut costs nearly in half. But does the quality match up? I've never had my ink cartridges refilled because I fear it will effect my design work. Refill or don't refill?Is the quality of a refilled ink cartridge comparable to a new one?
Refill if its offered. All the way. The saving is because they dont have to package and ship the new cartridge, not because the quality isn't comparable. they actually make quite a bit MORE off of refilled cartridge.Is the quality of a refilled ink cartridge comparable to a new one?
I, personally, am not a fan of refilled cartridges as I don't believe the quality of the ink is as good as the OEM ink.
Based on past experience selling both, and using both, I continue to purchase the branded ink.
Case in point: I was printing 15 high quality full-color calendars that I had designed for my daughters' varsity swim team. Our school colors are red and yellow... the calendar background was red fading into yellow.
I ran out of my red ink (this happened to be an Epson printer) and popped in my generic 'remanufactured' ink. The difference in the quality of the colors was truly noticeable. The red that was so vivid and ';RED'; was now somewhat washed-out looking and more towards a pink-ish red.
I finished that one print, went back to the store and purchased the Epson ink to finish the project.
If I were doing design type work, I'd stick to the brand stuff.. just my opinion.
Good Luck!

all i used is after market / generic ink refills they work great without the price try http://www.printpal.com/card15 u get a 15% discount off their allready low prices and shipping is fast 2-3 days
That all depends on what Brand of Printer you are using and what you are printing out, if it just for home use and your printer is out of warranty then refilling is a good way to save money
I used them on my Lexmark and it didnt work afterwards
But on my HP they work fine.

Ink Refill Cartridge?
So my printer is low on ink..and i want to try the new ink refill cartridge thing at my local office max...i was just wondering...is it better to do the refill thing...or just buy a whole new cartridge?Ink Refill Cartridge?
Obviously it's better to buy a new cartridge, since that will be guaranteed to work right. However, I usually refill my cartridges 2-3 times before I throw them out and buy new ones. Any more than that and the really don't work right.
Refilling will sometimes make your printer 'blot' ink more, and as the copper contacts on the cartridge wear out, it may not print as intended. Buying a new cartridge gives you new contacts and a new print head, so you won't have those problems. However, it's a lot cheaper to refill.Ink Refill Cartridge?
I have tried a number of home refill kits, and none of them worked. Bite the bullet and find your cartridge on the internet - go for the lowest price you can find.
Refill $aves money, but quality is sometimes lower, try a refill fopr yur self and see!! I did and its not that bad!!
Better to buy new, or refurbed, some of the inks are low quality, and will clog you up
well depends on the cost of getting a replacement, since u can by compitable cartridges for half the print of a branded 1, they do the exact same quality of print.
To refill is cheaper but can be messy if not done properly
