I spent three hours refilling each of the CMYK cartridges in my HP color laser the other night.

First you use a copper ring to melt a little hole in exactly the right spot, then scalpel open the bag inside, carefully pour and shake the toner from the bottle, all the while huffing clouds of pink and yellow and blue dust and then you find it’s got everywhere. Then you’ve got to use bathroom sealant around a plug in the hole. Then the plug is sticking out too far and you’ve got fade on one side of the page, so repeat the plugging step a few times.

The refill kit was £65. A new set of carts was £200. I’m still deciding if it was worth it.
