Only original cartridges in the HP Photosmart C3180

After a long time, I have now tried for the second time to use refilled / refill cartridges in the HP Photosmart C3180. It was bought at a big ebay shop.

First, the printer accepts the cartridge. After the print result was not satisfactory and I put the cartridge back in after cleaning, he did not take the cartridge anymore. An error code for a defective color cartridge was displayed.

User manual, support on the homepage of HP did not succeed. Only a hint in the www (press on / off switch and color copy key at the same time) fixed the problem once. After a pressure everything was the same (blinking).

I have this phenomenon for the second time as I said. So buy expensive HP ink or another brand! (If someone has a great tip, of course - then I can print again)
