I've used Ink refillers of many brands but I got the best results for my HP710 from Ink-Tec made by a Korean company. Regarding using tissue to siphon off some of the ink from the cartridge before you return it to the printer, it's good advice but wasteful. The Ink-Tec kit contains a syringe that mates to the jig used for the refill process to suck 2 cc of the ink from your cartridge. I return this 2 cc back to the plastic refiller with a gauge 23 hollow needle I get from the pharmacy and avoid ink waste.
That gives me an idea...I might try and either find or make some sort of plastic containter that can hold the cartridge upright and let the excess ink drip into it at the same time (I'll need 6 of them). Then after it's done dripping I can install the cartridge and use a syringe to put the ink from the container back into the bottle. Of course this all hinges on weather or not the refill ink prints as high quality as the retail ink. I've seen conflicting views on this. I guess I'll just have to see for myself. I hope it works...LOL so typical of me...work everything down to a science just to save some cash
