It's been known for quite a while that Deskjet cartridges can be reinked (in
brief, you use a chef's syringe and Sheaffer Jet Black Skrip ink). This kit
provides red, yellow, and blue inks for you to use in used DJ cartridges,
and then you can use something like Professional Page or Pagestream, which
do IFF color separation, to print it out. It's a laborious process, but you
do get pretty nice results...
