I got a color cartridge filled there and it was horrible. There were streaks and "ghosts" on anything that had color printing. The cartridge itself had been out of my printer for well over 6 months so it might have just been a bad cartridge at that point. They ask you how long it's been out of your printer when you drop it off so that's why I mention that. Several weeks later, I decided to give them another try so I took a "fresh" color cartridge and a black cartridge to them. They filled the black one but said the color one didn't pass their "electronics" test, whatever that is, so they couldn't fill it at all. I ended up having to spend $30 at Costco for a new color cartridge, but the black cartridge they filled seems to be doing ok. I'll try them again when these run out, but if I get the same result with this new fresh color cartridge, once it runs out this time, I won't be going back to Walgreens. Hopefully it will work for you on the first try. Good luck! :-)

Do not get it filled at Walgreens, it's not high quality AT ALL.

Go to Rapid Refill Ink.

I also have a business where I use my printer for color prints....photos and DVD's. I got my HP ink cartridges refilled once, and will never make that mistake again. If you rely on good color printing for a home business, do not waste your time on getting the ink cartridges refilled. I take my empty ink cartridges to Office Max and get $3 my new ink cartridges. I also belong to a videographers forum and they all suggest buying new cartridges as opposed to getting existing cartridges refilled.

I personally refill my own ink cartridges, it's really easy, and it lasts for a long time. I go to wal-mart and get my re-fill kit myself. Take your current cartridge, and if you don't see any holes on the top, peel the sticker off of the top and figure out which color goes in which hole. You can use a tooth pick if the color is too low to see. Simple insert the needle like end into the cartridge and squeeze, but not too hard! And there you go! You have to let it sit overnight though to soak the bottom. Good luck!

I get mine refilled there all of the time. I have a business where I do a lot of printing and I also hate spending the money to buy new ones each time. I take them to Walgreens and within 20-30 minutes they're done. I haven't had any problems yet.
