I have read that there are smart cartridges out there. Given that the whole idea of cheap printers is to sell expensive ink, it makes a sort of warped sense, doesn't it! Anyway, there's no surprises in mine except the shape fills 80% of the apparent ink space with air. What a rip off. I did find out that you need to fill the cartridge befor it is completely empty or right when the computer warns of impending doom. I let it go dry the first time and the printing was iffy for days after. Being my first refill try, I thought it was the ink I bought, but it cleared up and has worked fine through several more refills. Lee
