have cleaned, aligned, etc but printed stuff still covered in bands. Could it be re-fills to blame? Any other advice?

Re-fills often mess up the print heads.That's why the manufacturer Doesn't recommend re-fills or "compatible" cartridges; they're only as good as the process they go thru. Clean the heads a couple of times, it wastes ink but it might help.
I prefer to bite the bullet and buy same-brand cartridges, because if you ever take it into the tech serv they are going to give you a hard time and probably refuse to honour the guarantee.

Refilling ink is not recommended, but all of us still do it. now please answer these questions to help you:
1. while you are refilling, have you pushed much ink into the cartridge which make it dripps ink? if yes then its not usable any more. if No go to 2
2. after you refill any cartridge you must place cotton on it head and keep it raised thus the ink don't dripp and don't forget to seal the place where you filled the ink 100%.
now if you did 1 and 2 correctly, you can refill your cartridge many times, if not, sorry its not usable.

That's what you get for using cheaper solutions... Sorry... Now, to fix the problem, get original cartridges, install them and clean the printhead. And don't use refills any more, they're not worth.

It seems to me like your cartridge is causing you problem. Try to take off the cartridge and put it again. Or show back to the place where you bought them.

Instead of re-fillinf its much better to just fit a new cartridge.

must be the refills. Ive only ever used refills once and i had the same problem. I think you are better off just buying new ones.
