if you've ever handled Ink Cartridges, hypos and refilling ink, you know how messy it can be.
lol I have no interest in getting into that again!
My Ink cartridges cost roughly a dollar or two, per cartridge...
I buy from a couple of ink guys on amazon and ebay, and I always buy bulk lots of all four colours.
I currently have a box of replacement cartridges (about 30 cartridges left) to go through.
So if I had to lose them, its not much money.
At the time I mentioned, I had just purchased a new lot of Ink when my Printer started acting up.
So I was considering a new printer and that prompted the question of reusing the Ink in a different Printer.
I have since fixed software issues (the Printer just need firmware updates and works great again),
but I still have the issue of cardstock feed.
Something has happened to the feed roller system, and the Printer jams thicker cardstocks (anything over 176gsm).
I've tried cleaning things but no luck.
This Brother printer has served me well for 5 years...maybe closer to 10 years now?...and has been very cheap to run.
The Printer was a discontinued model, I bought it from Staples for $49 CAD.
