Saved me a lot of money!!!
I bought the HP Deskjet 1010 from Walmart for $25.00. I also bought the Continuous Ink System in all black (HP 61) from Ink Products for less than $50.00. I looked up' Best Ink' on You Tube to watch how to install the Continuous Ink System for my HP 1010 printer and watched the video which was in all Korean. I found their tutorial to be the most helpful that was done on YouTube by "Best Ink." I would have bought from Best Ink but they seem to not be available in the US only in Korea. I was able to use the information from that video as well as the video from Ink Products to install my system correctly so that it works for me. I also bought some Museum Putty off of Amazon.com to secure the bottle from tipping since the bottle has to stay open to allow air to flow. I use my printer for homeschool worksheets and also for coupons all the time and have barely made a dent in the ink. I HAVE made a dent in the paper I use though, and will need to buy some more printer paper soon, but not ink!!! Yay!!! I did see that Ink Products sells the inject-able ink refill system as well, which I did not see until after I already purchased the all black system. The inject-able ink refill system is both black and color and was the same price but you get color as well, mine is only using black, but works for me for what I need it for, but I do wish that I would have seen the color inject-able ink refill system first because I would have bought that one instead. I hope this helps someone. I am on a tight budget and this Continuous Ink is one of the best money saving inventions that I have found on my internet searches because of how much I COULD potentially pay for ink doing my normal everyday printing. NOTE: I never had to call the company so I cannot say anything about their customer service. I just researched the Continuous Ink System and Ink Products is the only one that I could find that has a system for my cheap printer. I did see the bad reviews before buying from them, but I felt confident after watching YouTube videos from 'Best Ink' that I could install it correctly and that it was worth the risk based on how much I would now be able to afford to print. I also did have to install it a little differently than both videos because of the materials given to me from Ink Products. I followed the Ink Products video when I had to but I tried to install as the Korean video showed as much as possible. I used the silver tape from Ink Products because the black plugs in the Korean video were not available to me. I also had larger sticky things for "hose travel" so I followed the Korean video most of the way. The very first one next to the cartridge was too big so I left that one off but I turned the hose in the direction it would have gone if it was attached to the sticky thing then the rest I put where they showed in the Korean video, which was on top of the inside of the printer behind the black door. I then clipped the hose on the bottle up onto the clip because it sits without tipping that way. I did not loop it back down in the clip like in the Ink Products video though. I hope that Ink Products changes to the same install system as Best Ink but in the meantime this works and it is a real blessing to me and my family, so I would have to say a BIG THANK YOU TO INK PRODUCTS!!!
