Yes, clogging is an issue on inkjet printers.kramer1 wrote: ↑ Get an Ink Tank printer if you want to be able to refill. But be warned, they clog up, if not used regularly. Otherwise I think Brother is the only one that allows such things. But afaik they also started adding checks to ensure non-refilled cartridges are being used in some printers.
I can speak from experience about HP and for the HP inkjet printer that I had, HP makes it difficult to use generic ink refills with their printer as their ink cartridges have a "computer chip" on them which the printer detects when the ink cartridge is inserted.

Every once in a while a pop-up shows up saying "Used or Counterfeit Cartridge Detected!" Just click No to all the questions until you get "HP's printer warranty does not cover repairs or services due to use of non-HP cartridge or ink". Click "OK" to dismiss this message and back to your printing. HP will display one message per cartridge, then you can print forever (with the chip usage information turned off). Legally, HP cannot stop you from printing because of a class-action lawsuit ($5 million lost and HP learned a lesson).
So yup, (re)fill yer boots. Costco Ink refill has its own website as well. Enjoy.

Costco no longer refills ink cartridges. And as if that wasn't enough, they closed their Photo Centres.

Exactly as I said: click "OK" to dismiss the message and back to your printing. Is your printer not allowing you to print with a refilled ink cartridge?
