BA,
I use Cartridge Monkey for all my cartridges for HP Printers, I use the Reman remanufactured carts and am very happy with them.
The printer works fine with them.
Delivery is usually within one or two days, and they regularly do discount codes in emails to you.

All,

I wouldn't touch remanufactured, redrilled, refilled or refurb cartridges with a barge pole.

I was an onsite engineer for 5yrs Norwich Union at there site in Perth, they hundreds of printers, laser, inkjet, thermal etc etc, HP, Brother, Lexmark you name it they had it, they then decided to save a bit of money and started to use remanufactured cartridges.

There call rate went through the roof and cost them a fortune as these remanufactured units started to leak ink and toner into the machines, big mistake, some of the machines were salvageable but many were beyond economic repair. Within weeks I had convinced them to return to using genuine cartridges. I did not work for any of the printer manufacturers just in case you think I was on commission, I was a Laptop, Desktop and Server engineer for IBM but unfortunately printers were also within my remit.

The fact is that these cartridges are designed for use once, you may get away with a refill once or twice but after that forget it and if you do buy refilled ones you don't know how many times they have been used.

It's not worth the risk IMHO.
