Why's that? Last and only time I used one there were no problems with the
syringe and needle transfer.

The one I had didn't come with a needle - the syringe nozzle was about
3/16" diameter, like those epoxy-in-a-syringe syringes, but just the
one. I said in another post, that I knew I could have just let it sit
there and maybe fill the tank by osmosis, but I wanted to print in
less than a week's time. ;-)

I think someone forgot to pack the needle. Didn't the instructions

mention it?

I refilled ink cartridges on my Canon BJC-620 and a short while later,the
printhead began leaking and emptying the cartridges,and then the printhead
failed.Goodbye printer.
Also,the black ink on printouts faded to barely readable light brown even
when kept in dark conditions.

I bought one of those re-ink kits, and took it back and got my money
back the first time I tried to use it. The ink was good ink, but it
got everywhere except inside the cartridge. It cost more to clean up
after it than to just buy a new cartridge.

I've had much better luck so far.

When I think back, I'll cop to being impatient with the thing - there
was some very dense foam right inside the little filler hole, and
I think I knew at the time that if I sat there for the rest of the
night ever-so-slowly infusing the ink, microliter by microliter by
microliter - That's when I took it back.

You shove the syring into the foam, draw back a bit and fire. Take
little time.

Well, yabbut. I did kind of try different techniques, but each and
every one resulted in more ink on me, my clothes, the desk, the printer,
the docs, the keyboard, the mouse pad, the toilet flush lever...

I believe I am man enough to admit defeat when one is bested by a
frickin piece of frickin plastic.

Thanks,
Rich
