I can't really comment on the red ink, but my HP service guy here in
Boston tells me that those refills dry out more quickly than the ink
that HP uses.  Because of this, my HP guy told me not to use the ink
or it would void my warrenty.  Any comments on this from netland?  The
service rep said that the refill ink can ruin the printing mechanism
if used repeatedly.
