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.
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.
This work is best done over the sink.
