I am sure you all know of this, but it saves me dough, so I will pass it on. I use a Canon Pixma iP3000 printer and I use up the black ink first, as I mostly print text.

I have been able to get up to a hundred extra pages out of a refill simply by opening up the printer, pulling out the "empty" ink tank, and then reinstalling the so-called "empty" tank. My record so far is four times.
