    Refilling Printer Ink Cartridges

    • 1). Spread the newspapers over your entire work area. Place the paper towels within close reach. Put the used ink cartridge upright on the newspapers and open the ink refill kit.

    • 2). Drill a hole in the recessed area on the top of the ink cartridge, if there isn’t one already there. If the cartridge has a refill hole, remove the tape that covers it.

    • 3). Fill the syringe with ink from the kit. Usually its 10 mil for black ink and about 5 to 8 cc for colored ink.

    • 4). Insert the syringe needle into the hole on top of the cartridge and with firm pressure slowly fill the cartridge with ink.

    • 5). Seal the hole with tape.

    • 6). Place any unused ink back into the bottle for later use.

    • 7). Wipe off the ink cartridge and place it back into the printer.

    • 8). Leave the ink cartridge in the printer for at least 24 hours before using. This allows the sponge inside the cartridge to become evenly saturated with the ink.
