Are these refillable cartridges are full or empty? How many times can be recharged?

These ink cartridges are filled with ink. They function just as good as the original Epson ink cartridges. At this price it is cheaper for me to purchase more than to refill them. I have never tried to refill one, though from what I understand you have to purchase a device that resets the electronics in the cartridges so it knows when it is full again.

The cartridges are full of I k. As to recharging, it would be complicated because of the electronic chip involved.

They are full. I don't use my printer everyday but the ink lasts just as long as name brand ink.

They are reduced capacity cartridges. If you check on Amazon or Ebay you can get full-sized refilled cartridges at a fraction of Epson's new prices. Some of these cartridges are highly rated by users. Cheers !

Have had these for about 6 month now. All you do is add ink. when the printer says the cartridge is empty, you pop it out and then right back in. the chip on the cartridge resets when you remove it. Just keep an eye on the level of ink, because the printer cant see haw much ink is actually in cartridges, it just counts number of times it is used.

I don't know yet. The cartridges I intend to refill are not yet empty. It all looks as if it will work.

Get enough for about 3 refills. Really messy if not careful. Eventually bought new cartridge.

They are refilled cartridges. I haven't tried refilling them myself. Just a heads up. The black refill doesn't work in my printer. The other three work fine

It depends on the vendor that you happen to get them from. You'll notice that many of them are from random ink companies, but fulfilled by Amazon.com. What I received from Midnight Merchant were four, used, refill cartridges with no seals at all. I have submitted a 1-star feedback on that merchant as well as returned the cartridges I received.

They are filled. Thin ink, but plenty good for reports, etc. Haven't tried them for pics though. Not sure how those will turn out? Out of 6 I've installed, one didn't work.

I have slightly enlarged a few to refill.. But stopped. I found that my Canon Chip resetter (Amazon $6) didn't always reset on some used units. Besides I buy Amazon Cartridges so cheap, it's not worth getting Ink all over my fingers & sink cleanup (for a few pennies) They're so cheap, & good Canon ink isn't free. 1 vendor's case for my MG5220 B wouldn't fit.. ( I wouldn't waste 46 cents to mail it back to Amazon) since all the other carts were OK since I bought extras. Suggest you try 2 different Amazon suppliers to validate their quality to see what works for you!

I have had no problems with it resetting, no matter what the condition of the cartridges. The re-setter only knows that it has a cartridge in it not whether it is even got ink in it. I believe you can fill them at any point.

To the best of my knowledge, they are simply used cartridge containers refilled. Like one respondent commented, sometimes they work well, sometimes not at all. I used to get my new cartridges refilled when they ran dry at a local store that did refills -- no waiting for them to be mailed and no shipping cost and they were inexpensive compared to new. The store stopped doing the refills -- no profit in it for them. I just search locally for the best price for new -- no bad cartridges to frustrate me and money lost in the process. I will say, however, every now and then (if I'm feeling lucky), I may buy them online. Hope this helps. To the best of my knowledge, they are simply used cartridge containers refilled.

As far as I know you can. There are kits you can buy and or have a vendor that specializes in doing that. They test the cartridge then load it then test it again. I only bought some refilled units back several years ago but I have not for quite awhile. Wish you the best.

As far as I am concerned, those are full size cartridges. I am using such type of cartrdges in my BROTHER MFC 440 CN

I didn't see any indication that it were refilled cartridges. I believe they are new. Work fine for me.

Hi, I can't say I've actually ever counted. What I can say is that these last 3-4 times as long; minimum. It seemed I was always changing cartridges before, and now very seldom. Hope this helps! CE

I followed the instructions given by the seller and the new cartridges were recognized as full. I haven't refilled them yet, so I don't know if they will reset after that. I can only say for certain that they work very well with my printer. I haven't printed enough to use much ink, so I'm not sure of they accurately estimate how much ink remains, but they are transparent, so it is very easy to make a visual evaluation. I waited too long after my purchase to give a good review, but I can say that I'm really happy with the value and performance.
