Q: Hi,this may seem a silly question..I recently purchased a 4 color ink refill system for my new HP printer and was wondering if it is safe to use other manufacturers bottled inks in my HP such as epson,canon etc?I thought ink was ink,would it do any damage to the printer?any info would be appreciated....thanks!!
A: So your no longer using the cartridges and are filling ink wells in the feeder above? Black is black regardless of who makes it, the other three colours are blended by the printer to produce the full spectrum. You will get different shades to what you see in print preview. It will not damage the printer, but to get back to original HP print what you see, the other branded ink would have to be completely flushed through the printer. However in opting for an external filling system you are obviously planning to print a lot, so your main concern is the quality of print rather than harming the printer.
