| 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.
BLACK CARTRIDGE
1. If necessary, use the tools provided to enlarge the filling hole situated
on the top of the cartridge.
2. Fill the syringe with
approximately 20ml of black ink.
3. Push the syringe all the way into the filling hole and SLOWLY inject all
the ink into the cartridge or until the reservoir is full.
4. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer
instructions.
8. If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 24 hours. (This allows
ink to flow to the print head).
COLOUR CARTRIDGE
1. Locate the filler holes by removing the plastic top cover of the
cartridge. You may need to pry this off using a thin metal blade. Ensure you
do not damage the sensors on the back of the cartridge whilst doing this.
2. Using the picture, fill syringe with the corresponding colour ink.
3. Insert the syringe into the correct hole of the colour being filled and
push all the way down. You will feel resistance as there is a sponge inside.
Slowly inject approximately 8ml of ink until you can just see the ink
surface on the top of the sponge, any more and it is over-filled. If this
happens simply draw back on the syringe a little.
4. Rinse the syringe and needle thoroughly before proceeding then repeat the
process for the other colours.
8. Re-attach the cover securely with adhesive tape and continue using the
cartridge.
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.

BLACK, COLOUR & PHOTO CARTRIDGES
In the picture shown, we have removed the label to help you identify where
the filling holes are located. However we DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS.
1.
Attach the needle to the syringe and identify the placement of the correct
hole for the colour you are filling based on the diagram right.
2. Once you have identified the correct filling hole for the colour and
cartridge you are filling, push the needle through the label into the
cartridge. You will feel some resistance due to the sponge inside, this is
normal.
3. SLOWLY inject ink until the sponge is saturated (approximately 3ml ink).
4. Use adhesive tape to seal up the hole made in the cartridge label before
continuing with other colours to avoid contamination.
NOTE: The cartridge will leak if this is not done.
4. Once done, thoroughly rinse the syringe before using with any other
colour inks.
5. Reinstall cartridge and run 1-3 test pages as per manufacturers
instructions.
IMPORTANT
We recommend refilling prior to the cartridge becoming empty.
Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.
This work is best done over the sink.

- Same instructions for both.
1.
Put the Ink Cartridge on some paper towels or Newspaper in an area where you
can tolerate a spill.
2. Peal off the top label.
3. Follow the canal trace from the edge of the label to the very small hole
at the end of the canal. This hole is big enough for a human hair to go
through but not a syringe needle.
4. Drill all three holes (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) larger with the thumb
drill provided.
5. Fill the syringe with 7 ml. of the CORRECT colour ink.
6. Very CAREFULLY inject ink into each chamber until the sponge is full. A
little ink might come out of the top when full, so cover up the other two
holes while filling one.
7. When finished, replace the top label with some adhesive tape.
8. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer
instructions.
If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 8 hours.
** NOTE** The cartridge will print just like a new one. Even though the
cartridge prints fine, the ink level gauge will not read full after a
refill.
