Yup, were inside a company and we're also using refill ink cartridges and toners and i am also using refills in our home. Sorry for the Legal Ink Manufacturers. We, consumers are just being practical nowadays. We go to the cheaper alternative of everything as long as it is working fine. Printer manufacturers are claiming that using these ink refills will shorten the life of your printer. But for me, its just crap and purely their own business strategies.. hehehe.

from what I understand.. Printers prices have really low margin... (profits) that is why inks and toners are more expensive since here is where the manufacturers really make their profits. but most asian people are more practical to use refills or 3rd party brands. hehehe
