Are those printer ink refill kits reliable? (Ive got an HP 932C)

$30 for a black cart is pretty steep.

I do not recommend using refills on HP printers. Canon or lexmark, maybe, But I have heard that the ink used in refills is not he same kind that the cartridge from HP uses, and therefor, the quality is poor. Remember, the print head is on the cartridge and is electronically controlled by the printer. If the electrical properties that are used for HP ink are different than that of a refill, then you may have print quality problems. Always use these gimmicks at your own risk. If you are using a canon or lexmark, you're probably already used to poor quality.

i used one of those kits once...

worked once... then leaked like hell... and i got clogged heads as well...

so you still have to get new cartridges once and a while...

I have a 932c too, been out of color ink for while now. To exspensive to replace as often as I need too.

i too had a 932c. i used refills for about a year on it. with the refill ink i used (it was acrojet) the quality was just as good, no mess etc etc. you do have to replace the entire cartidge after a few refills though, because the printhead gets screwy if you use it too much. but all in all, it works pretty well.

i've migrated to laserjet though, and i'm glad i don't have to screw around with inkjets anymore.

I've used refills in my lexmark with very good results. All the printer makers would like us believe that the refill ink is poor quality but that has not been my experience yet.

I have been refilling the cartridges on my Epson for about 2 years and everything is good for me. On this printer, the print heads are on the printer themselves, if that matters to you.
