HP printer refill ball bearing size????

[Geoffrey S. Mendelson]

Hi, I live in Israel, so buying the parts from the states is out. I have
an HP Photosmart 1000 printer which uses a 45G black in cartriage.

I bought a refill kit which refills color and black cartriges. It did not
come with anything to seal the hole in the black cartriage. Older
kits came with a steel ball bearing, then they came with a plastic ball
of the correct size, new ones come with a self taping setscrew.

A lot of Googling found many vendors that have the balls and a few that
sell the screws, but none of them said what the size is. If I had the size
I could buy them locally.

Anyone know?

TIA, Geoff.

Carp are bottom feeders, koi are too, and not surprisingly are ferrets.

How about just taking one of the cartridges down to your local bearing
house, or bicycle shop, and testing to see what size you like?
