On my cannon with biult in heads I had them go twice. Second time I didn't bother to fix it I bought a laser.. Cost of consumables was just to high for me. If I had to do it again I would get an ink jet with heads on the carts.. vic -----Original Message----- a). From a website I learned that HP's are much 'safer' to refill 'cause their print head is built into the cartridge, and if anything goes awry you waste the cartridge and take a new one; in Epsons, the print head is on the printer and you replace only ink tanks, so if you wrecked the head you have to fork out half-o-the printer cost for the repairs... so the conclusion would be it's better to buy HP jets?
