I too have a 450c, and have considered refill kits... have used a
couple at home, and *WHAT* a mess. And I'm super-careful and fussy
about wearing gloves and all that... but something somewhere still
gets ink on it. (Usually my hands, but not always.) I've also had
problems about being able to tell if the cartridge is 'full' or not...
sometimes I won't know until one cartridge dies earlier than the
others.

I am planning on taking in carts for refills at a local store (like
Frys, maybe)....

As for home-grown refilling, I've enjoyed the prices and quality of InkOwl.com .
