  20. Re:hmm. not sure this is good. on European Parliament: No More Ink-Cartridge Chips · · Score: 1

    cheap refills are said to be made impossible by the circuitry which prevents them from being refilled. By removing the chip they want to do just that, make them easier to refill.

    Also the chip identifies the cartridge, probably copyrighted, so other manufacturers couldn't possibly reproduce it.

    Even though all this is held to be true, i know of companies that DO refill old HP cartridges,... Evergreen.
    People selling new cartridges in our store would often leave the empty ones with us. We then sell the empty ones to said recycling company.
