If you have access to a vacuum filling machine that will
solve your problems I would think (with the HP's anyway -
Lexmark make some hoirrible ink)

You'll honestly be able to rejuvenate 78s and 23s that have
been sitting for over 12 months - pretty much instantly.

Unless there's an actual physical problem with the
cartridge (such as a loose nozzle plate), then it should
almost instantly rejuvenate itself when filled inside a
very deep vacuum.

There are a bunch of machines out there. Someone near you
may be using one.

Hope this helps.
