There are a limited number of times you can refill your cartridge. The recommended refill limit is no more than five times. Printer cartridges have printer heads that can wear out over time if repeatedly used and the cartridge will need to be changed. If you are satisfied will the print quality after five refills, then by all means, keep refilling.
How can I save my printer ink?
Use your printer economically because the costs become astronomical if you print a significant amount of paper on a monthly basis.

Don’t be wasteful when it comes to printing, print out only what you know you will need. Printing unnecessary documents will likely cause you to spend more on printing costs.
