Hitachi Reviews

I carefully followed the directions and refilled my inkjet cartridge and then reinstalled it. I was never able to get it to work properly as I got terrible print quality. I gave up on it after a full day of trying to get it to work and got a new HP cartridge.

I followed all of the instructions and very carefully added the colored ink to my cartridge, but could never get it working in my printer. I'm very disappointed and had to trash this one and order a new HP cartridge.

If your refilled cartridge fails to work, place the print head in a shallow dish of water with one drop of detergent. Let it soak over night, and then wipe the head dry and install. The soak will remove dried ink deposits that cause the failure. Run the "clean head" option on the printer after installation.

I used this product for the first time and found fairly good results, the black color is a bit off .more like a very dark blue but then it's not for reports or anything like that so I appreciate saving half the price of a completely new cartridge, makes a lot of sense. I would recomend this product , Also instructions and procedure for the refil are easy to follow.it was a clean job no mess. Hope that further jobs give the same results.

in your list of printers where this product can be used, you forgot the HP 722C Deskjet

I bought this product based on the first user recommendation. I have had no problem with this ink and I don't see any difference in quality whatsoever. I guess it depends on your type of printer and I have a HP 692c. I totally recommend this product if you own a HP printer and want to save money.

The product is easy to use, with clear instructions. I've purchased it a couple of times and it worked perfectly. There was no mess and I've been able to re-use my cartridges more than once. The savings are significant, and I would highly recommend this refill rather than new or rebuilt cartridges.

This is a great product and very easy to use. I also got 4 refills from this kit. The directions are easy to follow.

I have had great luck with mine. In fact, I've refilled my cartridges at least four times with one kit. It has worked flawlessly for me every time. The key is DON'T LET YOUR CARTRIDGE RUN DRY! The previous reviewer may have had this problem. I had two cartridges when I bought the Dataproducts kit - one was low on ink, the other was dry. The one that was dry never worked properly so I drained it out and kept the ink for the good cartridge I had left. Buy this product - why fill our landfills with old cartridges when you don't have to and you save $$ at the same time. I can't understand why no one makes JUST INK available for these. It seems that Dataproducts is on the right track - but once you buy thier refill kit you don't need all the accessories after that, you just need more ink.

One star is too high a rating for this worse than useless product.

I bought one of these ink tanks at a local Target while waiting for delivery of 2 I ordered from Amazon.com. Print quality was good for 10 pages or less in our Canon BJC-4100. The cartridge stopped printing in the middle of a page. I took the cartridge out and shook it. Ink came out. I put it back in the printer and tried printing again. The printer printed one and one-half pages before the ink stopped again. We had a spare color cartridge, so I stupidly installed the Dataproducts ink tank in it to see if the problem was with the Canon BC-21 Color Cartridge. This didn't work either. I bought a Canon BCI-21 Black Ink Tank. Our printer printed blank sheets with this tank installed in both cartridges. Our printer is old, so I will buy a new printer before purchasing a new cartridge.

I use the Dataproducts "Compatible Cartridge for Canon BJC4000 (Black) (replaces BCI-21BK)" with my Apple Color StyleWriter 2500. The print quality on black and white documents is very good for the price. To me, black is black, and I notice very few differences in print quality between this ink tank and Apple or Canon products. For the price, this deal cannot be beat.
