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. Put the cartridges on some paper towels in an area where you can tolerate a spill.
2. Turn the cartridge up side down so that the outlet port of the cartridge is facing upward.
3. For Black - Fill the syringe with 3ml of black ink.
For Colour - Fill a syringe with 2ml of cyan ink, another syringe with 2ml of magenta ink and a
third syringe with 2ml of yellow ink.
4. Drip ink onto the felt pad in the outlet port. The felt pad will quickly absorb the ink into
the cartridge. If the felt pad will not soak up any more ink and the ink just sits on top then
that chamber is full. Dab a paper towel onto the felt pad to soak up any ink that did not get absorbed
into the cartridge.
It is vital that you put the correct colour into the correct chamber. Don't drip yellow ink onto
the cyan felt pad and wonder why you are now getting green.
Note: Do not pierce the felt pad with the needle of the syringe.
5. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 4 hours to allow the ink to saturate the entire
sponge.
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.
