Most cartridges, if in good condition (ie: if the print-head's not scratched, smudged with ink, or has been left out to dry) can be refilled many times. We had a Canon BC-02 which we refilled 72 times!

It is your right as a consumer to choose the brand of ink for your printer. Using Calidad ink in the correct way in the correct printer will not void the printer's warranty.

Yes, whether printing in black or full colour, the print result from Calidad products is crisp and bright. It is hard to see the difference between a picture printed with Calidad inks or printed with inks from an original cartridge.

The design of these cartridges includes the printhead in the cartridge itself (other cartridges are '"ink tank" type where the printhead is built into the printer, and not part of the cartridge itself). These Canon, Lexmark and Hewlett Packard cartridges are patented. Calidad is unable to produce alternatives. Calidad supplies Refillers for these cartridges so they can be recycled with a cost saving of up to 80% on original cartridge costs. Calidad also supplies Calidad Green Recharged cartridges for some HP and Lexmark printers, which are used original cartridges, which have been cleaned and refilled with quality Calidad inks. These Calidad Green cartridges offer around a 30% saving on the new original cartridge prices.

Printers with standard colors (C,M,Y,K) are mainly designed for standard office printing. Photo printers usually come with 5 or 6 ink chambers (additional Photo M and Photo C) and are designed to output photorealistic print quality. For these photo printers you must have all 5 or 6 colors in the printer for it to work.

The main difference is the concentration of dye in the ink. Photo printers usually deliver a wider color range than standard 4-color printers. Photo color is lighter and has a greater range of color shades, delivering a more realistic picture printout.
