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.

51625A (25), 51649A/G (49), C1816A - COLOUR CARTRIDGE

1. On the 51625A, 51649A (51649G) & C1816A the filler holes are located under the green or blue top. The green or blue top must be removed before refilling by carefully prying it off with a thin flat metal blade, such as a bread knife or penknife. Alternatively lay the cartridge on its side, hold down firmly, and strike the green top with a blunt instrument to break its seal being careful not to damage the circuits on the rear of the cartridge. This process can be tricky but once you master it you will find the next one easy.
2. Insert the filling needle into the filler hole of the colour to be refilled, and push downwards until the filling needle reaches the centre of the cartridge. Note: The cartridge contains a sponge and a slight resistance may be felt. Important: When you take off the colour cartridge cap will notice that the sponge is white. Do not change the sponge colour. Fill the individual colours until the colour just begins to show in the white sponge.
3. Slowly inject up to 7ml. of ink until the sponge is saturated.
4. After refilling the top can be refitted and secured with adhesive tape.
5. Set above a paper towel for an hour as a drip precaution. Expect a few drips. Do not allow the paper towel to touch the bottom of the cartridge, as it will draw out all of the ink. Remove any large hanging drops immediately.
6. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
If necessary leave cartridge in the printer for up to 24 hours. (Allows ink to flow to the print head).

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.
