Go with the refill kit. Your spending about $5.00 a piece for things
with holes and plugs and the proper clip at the bottom so the ink
doesn't leak out. Perhaps after you have experence you can then refill
the OEM tanks, but until then going with training wheels so to speak is
*highly* reccomended.
Refilling the bci tanks depends on being able to seal the outlet hole,
otherwise as you add ink, they will leak. Unless you kept the outlet
caps from your old ones you'll have to get something.
My experence is with the mis kit from inksupply.com. The kit is
minimal, the blunt needles short, and the rubber plugs difficult to
remove with gloves on. But it does the trick. The ink from
inkjetgoodies.com is believed to be the same stuff by "image
specalists".
