Runner,
I have a R1800 and bought a couple of refillable cartridges for the same reason you mention: $$$. The cartridge did take (I was afraid the printer would not recognize a generic cartridge). However, after a few prints I started to notice my images were missing red (the color of the refillable cartridge I bought). I also noticed some of my prints would have large red splotches in random spots. I ran the diagnostic system for the printer and sure enough the gerenic ink clogged the nozzel.
That being said, don't let this discourage you, I still plan to try other refillable cartridges, but make sure you buy from a reputable place and they use high quality pigment ink. I bought from some nobody and I swear to god it looks like there is sand in the cartridge.
