Start saving on genuine HP cartridges - this product didn't exist!

Original HP ink cartridges are overpriced! For the past 1-2 years I could find regular cartridges that work with my HP but now I can't find them. HP has since stopped this by using computer chips in their cartridges and brand name cartridges will not work without the chips. So I tried this DIY version. In theory, you remove the computer chip from your current HP cartridge and install it in this generic brand. THEORY AND REALITY are very different! Drilling out the original chip wasn't as easy or clean as shown in their video, then apparently a 'chip tray' would need to be fitted to the cartridge which you remove and reinsert to insert the chip, but in MY cartridges NO chip. the tray in her video. Also, you need to make sure that the "T" on the chip is inserted in the right direction. Well, my eyes couldn't make out the letter "T". After a long online chat with their support I had a chip installed but it didn't work! Just in case I got the wrong orientation I reinstalled the chip with the other side, IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. In the end they said to ask for a refund so I sent the product back. Now I have to buy official HP cartridges at exorbitant prices! And while I'm naughty that this company's product doesn't work, I'm even more angry at HP and their practice of gouging the prices of printer ink!
