Gary,

That is an interesting question that has not been addressed as far as I
know. Personally, I was unaware that there were refill kits available, i.e.
printer cartridge refill kits. I will pose this question to Steve Batchelor
at El Mirage this weekend. Please do not take my response in a negative way,
I hope I did not come across that way.
