I'd be interested in hearing privately from anyone who refills their Epson
Stylus Color 800 cartridges, if this CAN be done, and how to do it.

black ink, but they also sell color. I've refilled the black probably 10
times, and I still have over half the bottle left. The bottle cost just a
little more than one replacement cartrige from Wal-Mart. The ink seems as
good as the original, and I've been using the original cartridge this whole
time, with good results.
Yes, Lexmark cartridges are particularly easy to refill, black or
colour - I used to refill my old H-P cartridges but that was much messier. I
get my ink from JR in the UK, and they're helpful when responding to emailed
queries. My Lexmark 7000 prints excellent photos but I haven't done any
direct comparisons with other printers. The build quality I can't rave
about, however. It's been replaced once for poor paper handling and the
'new' one, actually marked "Service Replacement," doesn't cap the cartridge
heads properly, and a small serrated wheel broke free of the platen and
jammed under a newly refilled colour cartridge, wrecking the head.
