I have used it to print photos, art work, scrapbooking, and even print on canvas. The replacement ink cartridges are expensive. However I would suggest getting a continuous ink system instead buying individual ink cartridges....it is equal to 61 cartridges of each color so the need to refill it is alot less often. They are easy to install and not messy at all...it took me about 5 minutes to get mine completely installed and when I need to refill it the tanks are outside of my printer so there is no need to remove the cartridges. The cartridges are also set with non-expiring chips so there is no need to reset the printer. I am very please with the quality of the ink also. It has saved me a fortune. The best place I found that has all printer models and I bought mine here <a href="http://www.printer-ink-cartridge-refills.com" rel="nofollow"> Printer Ink Cartridge Refills and Continuous Ink Systems</a> Good luck and happy printing :-) I have a HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One Printer Scanner Fax.

I would love to know if there is a hack for making the printer recognize the larger color toner refill (57) since this would cut my costs in a third on color ink.

I have an HP all-in-one psc and have tried to save money by purchasing refills AND refilling my own. It's about $49.00 for color and black for HP at Staples. I have to say that filling my own was a bloody mess and the 'pre-filled' refills did not produce the quantity of printing that the original HP cartridges did. Someone told me that it had something to do with the pressurization process done at the factory. I don't know about that, but unfortunately, I have better luck with HP. I also tried to save a few bucks by buying the Store brand and my printer would not recognize the color cartridge. Thanks for listening to my rant!

You can't imagine how affordable it is for them to make the heads. Actually the <a href="http://www.inkhomeandoffice.com/" rel="nofollow">ink</a> is something they can't control as much. As far as being practical and for non-photo quality purposes, your method is the way to go...especially if you are near a Fry's. ;) Please update on the refilling kits.
