Black & Color Cartridges
1. Cover the outlet hole(s) with Aluminum or Vinyl Tape to prevent ink loss during
refilling.
2. Drill a 1/16' hole in the top of the tank. There is a
recess in front of the Plastic Ball Bearing that is an ideal spot to drill through. Alternatively, you may make a hole into this chamber by using a hot paper clip and melting a hole.
3. Attach the needle to the syringe and fill with the correct color ink.
4. Slowly inject approximately 13 ml. of Black Ink or 6 ml of Color Ink slowly into the
filling hole until the chamber is almost full. Unused ink may be returned to the bottle.
5. Seal the hole with hot glue, hot wax, silicone rubber, or (if desperate) electrical tape. You need to get a good air-tight seal or you will develop a leak. You also need to get the seal flush with the surface.
Ordinary scotch tape will not give an airtight seal.
Some ink will leak from the print head.
6. Remove the tape from the outlet hole(s).
7. Set above a paper towel for an hour as a drip precaution. Expect a few drips until the vacuum stabilizes.
If it looks like the dripping doesn't stop, then the filling hole has an air leak and is not sealed well.
8. After the dripping has stopped, replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 24 hours.
Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridges.
