Refill Instructions
Canon BCI-15 and BCI-16
Theory
The ink in these cartridges are retained because the cartridges have an internal sponge.
Instructions
Step 1) Put the cartridges on some paper towels in an area where you can tolerate a spill.
Step 2) Turn the cartridge up side down so that the outlet port of the cartridge is facing upward.
Step 3) For Black - Fill the syringe with 3cc
of black ink.
For Color - Fill a syringe with 2cc of cyan ink, another syringe with
2cc of magenta ink and a third syringe with 2cc of yellow ink.
Step 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 goes without saying that you want to put the correct color 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.
Step 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.
Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridges.
