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 cartridge on some paper towels in an area where you can tolerate a spill.
2. The fill holes are located under the coloured top of the cartridge.
3. Pierce through the top of the label with an old ball point pen or something similar.
4. Assemble the syringe and draw up ink of the correct colour for the chamber you are filling.
5. IMPORTANT: The cartridge contains a felt material, not sponge, so you will have to drip the
ink into the appropriate chamber very slowly. The felt material will naturally draw the ink into
it. Ensure the correct colour is put into the corresponding chamber.
6. When the felt is saturated, wipe away any excess ink and place a strong adhesive tape over fill
holes.
7. Install cartridge and run a cleaning cycle. Please note the ink level indicator may need to
be turned off, if so please follow these instructions:

Understanding Your Printer's
Estimated Ink Level:
The newer Hewlett Packard printers have included in the software that comes with their printers,
a "toolbox" that includes a section called Estimated Ink Level. It’s a great tool
that allows you to keep track of how much ink is left in your cartridges so you don't start a big
print job and run out of ink in the middle of it. The only problem is for those who wish to refill
their own cartridges.
If you refill your cartridge or have someone else refill your cartridge, it will read as low or
empty when you try to print with the cartridge. How does HP do it? They started embedding a serial
number in the contact strip located on the back of the cartridge. The printer remembers that serial
number and gives the message of low or out of ink. The internal memory is located in the printers’ firmware
and is not in the software. It will remember the previous two cartridges ink level. The following
pages list the various methods for the cartridges we know about.
The new HP OfficeJet D Series and CP 1160 Color Ink Jet series using the 14 black
ink cartridges has an estimated ink level gauge that allows the user to view the amount of ink remaining
in
the cartridge. This gauge must be shut off in order to refill the cartridge. It is a simple procedure
that can be done in the matter of seconds.
 1. Refill your cartridge.
2. Press the < and > (also the + and -) at the same time, then release quickly (the LCD panel
must be showing the date or the procedure will not work)
3. On the keypad, press in order 7, 8, 9.
4. A message will appear asking if you want to override the ink level gauge. Press 1 for yes (You
can later turn the ink gauge back on if you install a new cartridge by going through steps 2 and
3, then pressing 2 when prompted if you want to override the ink level gauge).
Your ink level gauge is now turned off and can resume printing.
1. Refill your cartridge.
2. Press and hold down the power button.
3. While holding the Power button:
Press the Cancel button 12 times
Press the Resume button 1 time
4. Release the Power button
 The ink gauge is now off and you can resume printing
