Can I Use a Refill Kit for My HP 910 Cartridges and What Ink Should I Use?

Question:

As a first-timer, I'm looking into refilling my HP 910 cartridges. Is there a recommended refill kit or specific ink type? Additionally, what's the best method to refill these cartridges?

Answer:

When refilling HP 910 cartridges, you don't necessarily need a specific "kit." Most refilling involves directly dripping ink onto the cartridge's sponge. For a comprehensive understanding, including chip transplantation with transparent casings for those with more experience, check our YouTube videos. Moreover, we've detailed the cartridge structure, its operation, and bypassing ink chip methods in an article accessible at: https://support.bchtechnologies.com/hc/en-us/articles/200989715.

Concerning ink types, BCH Technologies produces universal ink rather than cartridge-specific ink. For HP models like 564, 920, 902, and 910, original color cartridges use dye ink, while the large black one uses pigment ink but can be converted to dye. Both 902 and 910 cartridges, initially with pigment ink, are convertible to dye ink for greater flexibility in printing needs.

The decision between dye and pigment ink hinges on your printer's cleaning frequency and usage. Pigment printers self-clean more often than those using dye ink. Dye ink is cost-effective, easier to unclog, and recent advancements have mitigated issues like double-sided document bleed-through and UV sensitivity. For day-to-day printing, dye ink is highly effective, except for extensive outdoor use.

Switching ink types requires using up as much of the old ink as possible before transitioning. The mixture isn't always harmful, but proper flushing is key to prevent clogs. Utilize clear dye or pigment bases for smoother transitions.

In summary:

• Dye ink is suitable for pigment printers, enhancing the printer's self-cleaning process and reducing clog risks.
• Avoid using pigment ink in dye printers unless manual cleanings are performed regularly.
• Consistency in ink type use is crucial; once a satisfactory ink type is found, stick with it to avoid compatibility issues.
