Injet refill kits abound, though I've not yet tried one myself. I presently
have DJ5xx series, DJ 820Cxx, DJ1120C, and this DJ1200C, all of which can use
refilled cartridges. Has anybody had success with this money-saving process?
Does it work well enough to warrant a substantial investment in ink? How is the
shelf-life of the refill ink? This might be worthy of a discussion thread,
since there seem to be more vendors of refill kits every day.

Not a very successful strategy; the ink cartridges for the HP1200C,
HP650c Plotter, HP750c/755CM+, and the black cartridges for the
HP DeskJet 870 & 895 have a limited shelf life.
However, I think you're wrong about these particular cartridges
disappearing from the market any time soon.
YMMV, etc.

The 1200c and 1600c are durable and expensive printers
and well worth the
cost of even buying the tray kit from HP at list, unlike some of the junker
inkjets made by Canon, Epson, Lexmark, etc. The 1200c and 1600c are more in
the professional series as well.
Now is the time to buy cartridges too, as MANY big dealers are dumping
them, and when its gone its gone (at decent prices anyway).
