[* laser toner refills are more expensive than refills for inkjet]
My laser printers print for about $0.02 per page, including paper. What does the cheapest inkjet cost per page? And what does it cost per page if the ink dries up before you use it? Toner will still be just fine in 10
or
20 years if you haven't used it yet, whether in or out of the printer.
If you want to save money on printing, get a laser printer.
When one has literally no money to spend, one must make do with what is available. I hear what everybody is saying about laser printers, but that is not an option.
There are refillable cartridges, and refill bottles. I doubt that they can
dry
up. My old HP cartridges dried up because they sat in a storage space for a couple years. These won't dry up (at least, not so fast), because I will use them now.
I'm only asking if anybody else has tried these refillables. I don't want advice that I *ought* to buy a laser printer, when I cannot do so.

Aye, I've refilled cartridges and they worked well, but that was on older inkjets. If you have a modern inkjet. You may not be able to do that. The sensors in the carrage will see something is off and reject them. You can try but there's a good chance you are wasting your money.
Sorry, I wish I had better news.
