Repeat-O-Type Introduces HP Refill Kits

The problems of getting Hewlett-Packard’s 51641, C1823, C6625 and C6578 series color ink jet cartridges to start printing reliably after being refilled has been solved by Repeat-O-Type Mfg. Corp.
    
Repeat-O-Type recently introduced successful “do-it-yourself” refill kits for the HP DeskJet 700/800 and 900 and PhotoSmart series printers. Fred Keen, Repeat-O-Type’s director of sales and marketing, announced that a special starter solution, cartridge clip, and syringe used in the refill kits will be offered to customers in the recharging community who purchase Repeat-O-Type’s bulk inks. The starter fluid will add only about 7 cents to the cost of refilling a color chamber.
    
The procedure involves simply injecting 1cc of the starter solution into each color chamber before adding the ink. The solution will be offered in pint bottles at $30 each.
    
“The refill kits we have developed include a special cartridge-holding clip and a gravity-feed dispensing syringe for use while refilling. The clip prevents cross contamination of the colored inks and the gravity-feed syringe eliminates foaming of the ink,” said Mr. Keen.
