Yes this really works although, depending on ink type it could clog cartridge nozzle upon drying ink -more solvent needed..

If you know anything about printer inks, you know that each printer company uses unique ink thickness and flow rates to their own specs. Lexmark ink is very different then H.P. or Cannon. of the three I just listed Lexmark is the most difficult to fill, because they change everything on each model.

This is nice but why not you go for readily available inkjet cartridges that are really very cheap. REMANUFACTURED INKJET CARTRIDGES are very cheap as they are remanufactured or refilled with ink by using empty & used original cartridges. This is done by professionals and are very cheap as compared to original ones. It will also save you from all the refiling mess that you will have while doing it and also the fear of damaging your inkjet cartridges.

To keep your fingers clean you can purchase a box of 10 Nitrile gloves, you choose your size, from Harbor Freight for $1.99. They fit tight so you have a good grip and the gloves get purple fingers, not you.
