Most important, you need to find out what are the most common printers used in your area. You will also need exceptional ink. A good manual will help. A machine may be good if you get realy busy, but in the mantime, you will want to generate income first. I am in my 8'th year, I reload ribbon & reman inkjet cartridges. I do everything by hand. The people that insist I need a machine are all trying to sell me a machine. I will determine when I need a machine, not some salesman. If I were to buy a machine it would be for HP 45 & 15, possibly also the 20 & 29. Think of how many refills you will have to sell to make a living, & how many more you will have to sell to pay for a machine.
If you start out doing cartridges by hand, you will learn faster what works, what doesn't & why. Don't believe everything you read in a refill kit. To me most refill kits are downright misleading.

There is a whole lot more involved than just putting a
needle into a cartridge & blasting in the ink.

I think the first thing you could do is get a good manual.

Then find a REPUTABLE company & buy a couple or refill kits, refill your own cartridges. When you start achieving high success rates, start buying inks to expand your product line & open for business.
I spent about 6 months refilling my own cartidges before I bought my business license & opened my doors. I wanted to make sure I was happy with the results, there is no point trying to sell something you won't use yourself.
