- I have a computer catalog called "Global Computer Supplies, 1-800-
- 845-6225). They list a refill "kit" for the Canon Bj10 (and Bj300/330 etc.)
- for $17.65 (twin pack). This "kit" consists of two squeeze bottles with long
- needles for injecting the ink into the print cartridge. There is an indelible
- formula available...only for the HP DeskJet Plus. I guess the bubble jet
- Bj10e requires a water based ink formula for its "bubble" technology...
