Before you start:

1. Read the instructions carefully.

2. Work over a sink or a surface covered in layers of newspaper (just in case).

3. Only re-fill a cartridge that has just run out ~ this kit will not work with old dried out cartridges. Even 30 minutes can ruin a cartridge if it dries out!

4. Have your printer manual handy for instructions on inserting a “new” cartridge.

IN-700, IN-710C, LC-11BK, LC-11CL

BLACK CARTRIDGE
1. If necessary, use the tools provided to enlarge the filling hole situated on the top of the cartridge.
2. Fill the syringe with approximately 20ml of black ink.
3. Push the syringe all the way into the filling hole and SLOWLY inject all the ink into the cartridge or until the reservoir is full.
4. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
8. If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 24 hours. (This allows ink to flow to the print head).

COLOUR CARTRIDGE
1. Locate the filler holes by removing the plastic top cover of the cartridge. You may need to pry this off using a thin metal blade. Ensure you do not damage the sensors on the back of the cartridge whilst doing this.
2. Using the picture, fill syringe with the corresponding colour ink.
3. Insert the syringe into the correct hole of the colour being filled and push all the way down. You will feel resistance as there is a sponge inside. Slowly inject approximately 8ml of ink until you can just see the ink surface on the top of the sponge, any more and it is over-filled. If this happens simply draw back on the syringe a little.
4. Rinse the syringe and needle thoroughly before proceeding then repeat the process for the other colours.
8. Re-attach the cover securely with adhesive tape and continue using the cartridge.
IMPORTANT – for best results, cartridge should be refilled whilst some ink remains
Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.
This work is best done over the sink.

LC-01BK, LC-01C, LC-01M, LC-01Y

1. With the drill bit supplied, make a 3mm filling hole above the ink reservoir. (See diagram above).
IMPORTANT – DO NOT DRILL INTO THE SECTION CONTAINING THE SPONGE.
2. SLOWLY inject ink into the filling hole until the reservoir is almost full.
IMPORTANT – Cartridge contains a sponge and slight resistance may be felt.
3. When ink overflows from filling hole, cartridge is full. Stop injecting ink immediately.
4. Seal the hole with the plug provided. If the plug seal is not airtight, then secure and seal plug with strong adhesive tape.
THIS SEAL MUST BE AIRTIGHT, IF NOT THE CARTRIDGE WILL LEAK.
5. Leave cartridge to stand on a protective, non-absorbent surface overnight to prevent leakage and to give the ink time to fully saturate the sponge.
If necessary leave cartridge in the printer for up to 24 hours. (Allows ink to flow to the print head).

LC-02BK, LC-02C, LC-02M, LC-02Y

1. Unclip the plastic handle (lever off the back) on top of the cartridge.
2. Seal the outlet hole with adhesive tape. (This will be removed later)
3. Puncture the silver tape with an old ballpoint pen and enlarge the hole beneath to make the 1st filling hole.
4. Push the steel filling tube into the filling hole.

IMPORTANT - You will be injecting onto a sponge and slight resistance may be felt.

5. SLOWLY inject ink. When ink overflows from filling hole or starts to leak from outlet hole, cartridge is full. Stop injecting ink immediately.
6. Seal the first filling hole with strong adhesive tape.
7. Make a second filling hole (see diagram above) in exactly the same way as the first. This time you will fill the reservoir with ink. Seal the second filling hole with strong adhesive tape and remove tape
from outlet hole. Replace the plastic handle.
8. Leave cartridge to stand on a protective, non-absorbent surface overnight to prevent leakage and give the ink time to fully saturate the sponge.
9. Install the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.

IMPORTANT: For best results, cartridge should be refilled whilst some ink remains.
Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.
This work is best done over the sink.

BLACK & COLOUR CARTRIDGES
1. The filling hole is the same as the access port. The printer draws the ink from this port. Shown in the picture is the location of the filling hole / access port.
2. The ink is contained in a plastic bag, this is delicate and it is VERY IMPORTANT not to insert the needle of the syringe more than 3/8” (10mm) or it is possible to damage the plastic bag which will render the cartridge useless.
3. Fill the syringe with the correct colour ink and carefully insert the needle into the filling hole / access port and SLOWLY inject approximately 4ml of ink per chamber.
4. Hold the cartridge upright with the filling hole on top. Use the syringe to remove any trapped air by only inserting the needle 3/8” (10mm) and withdraw the plunger to remove any air pockets.
5. Once done, thoroughly rinse the syringe before using with any other colour inks.
6. Reinstall cartridge and run a priming cycle as per manufacturers instructions.

IMPORTANT
Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.
This work is best done over the sink.

2. Remove the cover using a small flat head screwdriver and carefully pry off the clip which holds the cover onto the cartridge.
3. Remove the large and small seals from the cartridge.
4. Using the drill or eyelet screw included, widen both the ‘Sponge’ and the ‘Auxiliary’ filling hole on the top of the cartridge.
5. Using the syringe filled with the correct colour ink for the cartridge you are refilling; insert the needle through the SPONGE filling hole and push it all the way into the cartridge.
You may feel slight pressure because the cartridge contains a sponge.
6. SLOWLY inject approximately 7ml of ink and reseal the SPONGE filling hole and breather port with some tape.
7. Insert the syringe into the AUXILLIARY filling hole no more than ¼” and inject approximately 3ml of ink and reseal with some tape.
8. To replace cover, snap it back onto the cartridge in the same direction it came off.
9. Unused ink may be returned to the bottle. Rinse syringe thoroughly and dry between colours and after use.

LC-41BK, LC-41C, LC-41M, LC-41Y

1. Make filling hole using the tools provided in the position shown in the diagram, right.
Use your judgment and be careful not to let any debris from making the hole enter the internal workings of the cartridge. Failure to do so may damage the cartridge beyond repair.
2. Put the tip of the syringe with the correct colour of ink into the hole and SLOWLY inject ink – up to 20ml.
3. Seal the hole with tape and thoroughly clean syringe between colours or to store for future use.
4. Install the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.

ALTERNATIVE METHOD
1. Fill a syringe with 25ml of black or 20ml of the appropriate colour ink depending on which cartridge is to be filled.
2. Remove the needle from the syringe.
3. Invert the cartridge as shown in the diagram to show the ink exit hole and the pressure release button.
4. Push the syringe into the ink exit hole and tilt the syringe to the side. Pull back on the plunger and tilt/rotate the syringe until air flows into the syringe easily.
5. Pull back on the plunger until approx 3-4ml of air from the cartridge has bubbled up through the ink inside the syringe. This will form a slight vacuum in the cartridge. Then push on the syringe plunger gently to inject 3-4ml of ink then stop. Repeat this step 5-10 times to ‘pump’ the air out of the cartridge and inject the ink into it.
6. When the refill process is complete, the syringe will be filled with air but the plunger will be more or less in the same position you started. Pull back one last time to pull a last little bit of air from the cartridge and then remove the syringe from the cartridge.
DO NOT PRESS THE PRESSURE RELEASE BUTTON INTENTIONALLY OR BY ACCIDENT
8. Install the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.

IMPORTANT
Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.
