In the early days of remanufactured computer consumables I was very sceptical about the quality of inks and toners being used, printers like the Hewlett Packard Deskjets have new heads when the cartridge is replaced, in this scenario if you had a damaged head because of dodgy inks its just a case of changing the cartridge and you would have a new head, you could even go back to manufacturer cartridges and be non the worse for the ordeal.
The problems could occur when printers like the Canon BJ330 where the head is a part of the machine and ink changed as a single cartridge, changing the head was costly at the time a new head was £130 and £60 for my labour, I must have fitted hundreds of these heads even using the correct ink from Canon, imagine if it was using substandard inks for that, it would have cost the earth and at that time the printers were £600ish, with the introduction of the Epson stylus again using the inbuilt head the chance of a repair bill was quite a bit, luckily the printers were a lot cheaper so not worth repairing but cheaper to replace, luckily in my experience the stylus print heads were quite robust and problems with them that could not be sorted with a cleaning cycle were rare.

The companies that refill cartridges have had many years of practice and now I have every faith that their cartridges are as good if not better than the original cartridges, the companies are still trading and the use of remanufactured cartridges has increased, most companies offer guarantees about their products so you are sure to get a good deal, the price of remanufactured cartridges is so much cheaper than the originals that even getting a few bad cartridges you will have saved the cost of the printer after just a few cartridge changes, that’s like getting a free printer after every few cartridge changes.

I have been doing some checks and the company below appears to offer the best deals, if you find otherwise let me know in a comment and I will change the recommended supplier.
