Would you prefer to get those re-fill ink, or get a brand - new one?

I have a printer, and the ink run out fast even though I don't use it that much. Probably when it comes to certain number of days, the ink will dry out itself. It is recommended by friends, more economic to bring your old ink cartridge to the nearby store to re-fill it. I did try it, but the color and the quality wasn't that satisfied. Also, it run out fast too. So, I prefer to purchase a brand new ink cartridge from the stores. What about you?

I do some times get the cartridge refilled. Not that that is the preference, it is much cheaper than buying a new ink cartridge. The quality of refilled ink is not bad at all. There are many service centers which are providing the refilling services, and they are very experienced in doing that.

Refill inks are cheaper but it would really eff up your printer. I used to purchase original new ink cartridges but they're really expensive as they run out fast because I have print stuff a lot. My mom and I decided to just get a refill since it costs way cheaper than the new stuff. We thought we got a good bargain but when we tried it out on our printer, it messed the contraption up and we never got to use it again.
There are success stories though with regard to refilled inks, they worked fine to some other people. But I'm sure that I'm not the only one who had the same problem. So I suggest you just buy the brand new one since it's safer and has more quality. You can try the refills though, but based from my experience, it would be too risky.

it would be too expensive for me to buy brand new ones everytime the printer ran out of ink. So I prefer to refill the cartridge once or twice, then buy a new one. At least once or twice refilling, the printing still looks good but on the third one, it may not be practical to do refilling...
