Not sure about refillables, but if it's an inkjet I'd suggest looking at a continuous ink system.

I had one a couple of years back on my Epson Stylus Photo R200 and it was ideal, it had special cartridges that went in the printer with tubes going to an ink tank. IIRC the tanks held about 10 times what a normal cartridge did and ink was pretty cheap.

Looking at this site...

They seem to be around the £50 mark these days with ink starting at about £5 a bottle.

They have a load of Epson printers listed, but I'm sure it would be possible to get them for other printers too such as HP, Canon etc.
